This is just ok, for those of you not familiar with Mr. Crossley's awesomeness.

The guitar looks amazing.

How did you finish the guitar? What did you use to grain fill the mahogany?

Great work, as usual. Are the knobs Q-Parts?

The guitar is sprayed with nitro, grain filling is an oil based grain filler, its an English product, which gets the big grain slightly filled, and then just nitro to fill the rest.

What I want to know is, why all the good forum guitar builders are in Australia? Kramersteen, you, Crusty, etc. Is guitar building a method for repelling all the deadly insects or something?

Great work.
