That pickguard looks perfect on there! Nice job!

Thanks, I think it's rather attractive myself!

Thanks!  I still have to wait a couple weeks for the nitro to cure so I can sand and polish it up.  This is the part I hate!

Interesting, how that bass looks white on these pics when it is in fact - I dare presume - TV yellow? There must certainly be an explanation for this phenomenon ...

the color is hard to visualize on computer.   It's Fender Blonde which has a hint of yellow which looks darker online than in person.

Got the polishing finished this morning!  Next we'll install the hardware, slot the nut and string it up for a trial run.

Daaaaamn!!I go visit my mom in RI and Doc gets out the pollish. Must be the kitchen  is back to normal and the wife gave you a shop pass. I agree the waiting sucks. I screwed up my first couple projects being impatient.My hobbit HO  has some surface defects that I will fix as soon as I finish another shortie.
Doc, your an inspiration.. I may do my moderne project in  cherry vanilla! :mrgreen:

Yeah, the kitchen's done except for wall paper, which my wife is doing.  She's got a meeting tonight so I'm in the shop for 3-4 hours, yeah!!!!  I should be able to wire up the LP and fret the neck for the Vox HB.

A cherry vanilla moderne sounds nice.  I think vintage white and red go so nice together.
