    Being sneaky?
    I have a client who can't buy any new guitars without selling one, because "my wife can count".

      A while back I bought a Rosewood Tele (with my wife's approval), then a week later I had my SG on the guitar stand that I had just swapped pickups in and my wife said "Is that your new guitar?" referring to the Tele. At that point I was like, "YES!!" It appears that as long as I never have more than one out on a stand, she'll never know how many.

      Back to OP - love the color and top wood on that thinline.

        Just waiting for the pickups. Then I will attach the pickguard, fit the strap locks and job done.

        I fitted the bridge, neck and tuners today, then took a punt and fitted some strings. I set the Intonation and string heights. It's not at all sharp at the neck, so I don't have to mess with the nut, so far at least.

                That would be cool but I think branding on the headstock would be cooler.

                  That might be harder to do, actually.

                    A steady hand, good design, and a soldering iron can get it done if you have the skills.

                      That's it- I absolutely don't.

                        For branding, find someone who was skilled with those 70's Wood Burning Kits. Hopefully they also kept their kit.

                          Well. The Chrimbo before last I bought my dad a set of those steak branding irons from Buc-Cees, so I guess I could have a go...

                          But then, perhaps not.

                          If I ever do decide to put names on my guitars, I think it'll be waterslides under clearcoat.

                          Given they're all Partscaters, and my almost pathological addiction to brussels sprouts, Lupe Tortilla's charro beans, etc., maybe Fart caster Guitars?

                            Complaining that there are hypocrites in church is like complaining that fat people use the gym. Where else would you have them be?

                                Turned out pretty nice.

                                Waterslides with clearcoat. You can get them custom made to any design you want and they're pretty cheap if you get a half sheet (about 10-24 depending on size).
