I'm not sure if you guys caught the thread when I got this guitar but I've been working on it a bit. If you didn't catch it the first time, it looked like this:

No binding, gross finish, nothing on the headstock, the works. I've been shaving the binding down for a couple days now. I don't have the "nibs" on the end of the frets fully shaped yet or the binding rolled over fully yet. Then I have to clean up the frets (they're rusty!!!) and smooth out the fretboard. Here's some pictures:

I'm beyond excited to be able to play this!!!

Thanks guys! I'm just really excited about this. Had to share! Can't wait to see how the Motor City Pickup I've got to put in it will sound as well. Still have a lot of work to smooth out the body and fretboard a bit, and finish the binding but I'll have a sweet guitar after. I wanted just a pretty plain, oiled, rock machine and I think this will fit the bill.
