A few more coats now, and the guitar is ready for inlays and fretting:

There's still many coats of finish after the frets are installed, but it's looking really great!

Here's a picture of the inlays in place:

They look great!  
 
Your guitar is back in spray and a few coats away from the final curing.

Hey! Here's one all nice and shiny after the rubout:

You can tell how smooth the finish is.  
 
While the pickups get their last little bit of finish done, the rest of the electronics and hardware are getting installed. I'll post more pics in a few days.

No charge for brass knobs, we'll install them on the guitar for you.
