I know you're anxious to get this thing together, especially with that sweet neck being ready to go, but patience is key Let it bake 'n fade for a while longer and you'll be happier in the end than if you rushed it.
Well said! I've come this far dammit!

The nitro is already starting to look the part just from a few days in the sun. It's starting to shrink to where you can see some of the wood grain and the body seam. No fading as of yet though.

It is really, really, hard all the waiting to unvail that burst!!!
