Default Applying the finish

Things are coming along! Here are a few teaser pictures of how the finish will bring out the beautiful orange and gold hues of the back and sides








I should note that there was a small issue with the fretboard, so Tim is going to replace it. We're waiting now for the new P fretboard to reach the target moisture content level before he proceeds.
The fretboard will feature some simple, vintage reproduction MOP snowflake inlays as well. He's already cut out the inlays and I think they're going to look great and add to the slightly vintage look of the instrument.
