It's been a good-looking build throughout, but that last photo with the dyed finish is breathtaking.

Wow! Nice work, man! I love the shape and especially the finish of the body! Holy crap! The neck finish looks super BA, too. Looks amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product. Thread has been marked 'watch'...
Ta-da! I got the electronics done yesterday, finished the nut, and did a full setup.
I took it to a jam session last night, and this thing plays and sounds like a dream!
I'll post a video soon.

Welcome to the addiction... 
That is crazy beautiful. Totally not something I would seek, but if you put it in my hands, you might have to pry it back out.
Congrats, well done, thanks for sharing.

Awesome work!
I’ve always wanted a green-dyed maple topped bass, but now I want this colour instead

I used offcuts to make a stand.
Why don't all guitar makers do this? Seems like something people would happily spend another $250 for when buying a custom instrument. Especially if it were done right!
File under "obvious and excellent idea that could have been implemented better, and also would have been done differently if I had planned it out from the beginning." (I think that file is overflowing.)

I expect your next post to be ‘I had some more offcuts lying around so I made this awesome hardwood flight case’
Me too... last night I was digging through the offcuts of the guitars I've got going right now...
