Not muuuch really, just the neck relief needs set up properly, and the back of the neck is a bit rough feeling in places, so im just going to sand it to a super fine grain. It isnt thaaat much of an issue i just want the neck to feel as amazing as possible :P
[EDIT] all of which is done now!

it feels great, really pleased... but... 9 gauge strings feel so tiny though

Hopefully 2nd to last build update, Im taking a late night to do all the painting, im just stoked for it right now, so might as well do it all. Tomorrow should see me do the final drilling of the tuner holes through the Headstock veneer, and with that, the completion of the build!

And hey, since ive got the decal from the wonderful Olavi Ikonen (who has a thread in the guitar tech and parts B/S/T, check it out especially if you are in Europe) time for some headstock only shots!
