Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

I ended up going with a soft sheen, 0000 wire wool to flatten the last coat then a rigorous buffing with a microfiber cloth.
Pics later.

10.2mm conversion bushings and strings arrived today so all systems go!
Strung it up and plugged in.... Buzzzzzzz.... damnit, earth problems and tone was down full on the neck pickup, so undo strings, plate and jack plate to find I'd bent a lug to short out and my jack was wired 't wrong way round, numpty that I am.
All back together and just a wee filing of the string nut has it near perfect, happy bloody chappy!
Sounds great, plays great (Northwest guitars neck is superb!) and looks and feels lovely!
Pics taken but I'm out the house now so uploads later.

I might still take some from the base of the neck pocket as it is a litt proud still.
Also I just noticed a couple of the strings don't sit well in the nut, so tomorrow I'll fit a new bone one.
This has been a load of fun, and I'm suprised this is my first partsa, should have done this years ago!

So where can I get nice thick covers with rounded edges? like the Fatboy covers recently sold in the classifieds here, but in 50/52/52 with matching knobs?
