Applying Danish Oil & Fretwork | Project Mehr | Guitar Build Log Part 7

Are you ready for this?! The episode you've all been waiting for (minus the finale, of course :P) Today we finally put Danish Oil on this guitar and do some fretwork / polishing of the frets. Be ready for a lot of grain pop and discussion around guitar finishing in general as well as a nearly fatal issue with the neck. We are now ready to install all the hardware, do the wiring / cavity cover, and string it up.

This guitar is looking incredible, and other than a few small issues here and there, I couldn't be happier!
