I've done a couple of bodies now, and the original can is still >1/3 full.

Bargain!

 Just don't get it in your hair - no telling how it would react with all those other products ...

🤣

Last question before I order: is 250ml of Easy French Polish going to be enough for 4 coats on a body?

I'd have thought so.  I've done a couple of bodies now, and the original can is still >1/3 full.

But having stepped out onto the wide open plain of possibility that is wax finishing, that Black Bison is calling me; the musky scent, the impossible shoulders, the resistance to fingering...

Hope you've got a guitar or two in there too?

Anyways, not being a total wuss, and because the sun did indeed come out and shine brightly, I ventured to the depths of my workshop this morning and found a tin of this

Which is what I used, and which seemed to work fine over the Liberon Easy stuff.

Go do it Jimmy B !!

No-one is going out to the bedroom until then.

It's probably not just your age @jamesbisset

I'd tell you which wax I used, except it's out in the workshop and I'm in the house.  And the bit between the house and the workshop is very cold (or "a fresh spring day" as it's known in Scotchland), so I'm not going out to look.

But if the sun comes out to play tomorrow, I'll don my best warm clothing and go check.

Maybe it’s just my age, but I’m feeling in the need of a fancy wax myself.

You neglected to mention which one though. One of these, I assume?

The Black Bison Paste sounds suitably macho for a vigorous chap like me, and apparently it smells

I think so @jamesbisset - it's a definite improvement over an oiled finish in terms of shine and, perception, protection that it'll give to the guitar.  It's what I'm going to use for future builds.

Whether or not it'll protect against mugs of hot tea is a test that I don't intend to perform

;)

Question: does it leave a ring on the guitar when you rest a nice, hot cup of tea on it?

I found the spare top E string, and spent a day or two (on and off) tweaking the set-up, adjusting the truss rod as the nut settled, fine-tuning the intonation (with a tuner!!), and generally getting it completely done.

A nice feature that I hadn't pre-planned was that the stereo jack allows me to use a TRS cable to take the magnetic and acoustic outputs separately.  That means they can either be run into separate amps, or into separate FX chains.

And as I happen to have one of the (cheaper) Helix boxes, it means I can process the acoustic signal completely separately from the magnetic signal, into two separate tracks in my DAW.

Play once, get two sounds!

I guess all stereo jacks will allow that, I just hadn't thought about it until I was playing it and switching between the 2 outputs.

Anyways, happy with this one.
