Thanks 'UJ', a High 9, by you is quite a compliment, and yes!, it does have that look of, please plug me in, turn up the Vol & Grunge settings and give me a good thrashing, but the few times I've played it so far, have been through the Cleaner type settings, which I'm very happy with, but still have a bit of experimenting with different Amps & settings etc to do yet, to find out what it really likes, the string gauges I used were originally going to be for a CGc tuning, but got it up as far AEa, and was quite happy with that, so there it will probably stay! :-)
"Thanks Doug", I'm pretty chuffed with the final look of this one, as with most of my builds they start off going in one direction, and end up evolving into something totally different in the end, and of course I started another Diddy Bow build yesterday, so the production line is still going! :-)

"Thanks Bob", Ummed & Ahhed about what Colour Stain to use, but pretty sure Maple was the right choice. :-)
That's a cracker of a build AGP! I like the wood, metal and cream combo.
