Nice and crisp blue burst looks great against the swamp ash. This one is ready for an oil finish now, before final assembly.

Sanding the redwood ready for epoxy hardening.

Progress picture taken at twilight of the spalted beech Matterhorn. Fretting next, before installing vol & tone pots before final sanding.

This one is getting a brushed nickel set of @bareknucklepickupsofficial ‘The Mule’s and a @hip

Frets are in, ends domed and dressed. Everything is now ready for the first string up before finish sanding.

Bit of inlay detail now that it has been finish sanded. Oaken horn with walnut shadows. Ready for frets!

@hipshotproducts open backed locking tuners in chrome to match the 2tek bridge. @btnmusicuk

The other Kinloch Guitars headstock shape is Echo. The woods match the guitar body’s top wood and the fingerboard.

Horned headstock on mahogany neck with walnut back plate. Carbon fibre and laminated layers of veneer reinforce the shape. Truss rod adjustment access between horns.

Hand shaping the volute on a walnut neck. Very nice woodworking files from @workshopheaven

I levelled a few fingerboards prior to radius sanding and it showed the detail of the inlay quite nicely. This is only sanded 80 grit so by no means polished but still looks pretty nice.
