Did you use aniline dye on the ash ?

Sorry no build thread on this
I didn't need 6 more guitars.
In no particular order, except last one first ...
This was the assembly/finish job. I bought one of @GSPBasses fine carcasses from someone else here, and had some fun with some stains and hiding the neck join
Read all about it on this thread.
And this is what I ended up with
(yes, yes, yes - I know - it's got a switch tip on it now!!)
And ...
The next 3 builds are shown on this thread, from beginning of the year. This was really a set of rescues of previously cast-aside part builds.
This one had lain unloved in a dusty corner for ages.
And, although I say so myself, it's not at all bad now it's all sorted!
This one involved making a lot of sawdust. Don't look at the build thread if you're squeamish.
And finally - last is very definitely *not* least in the case, as this one is quite possibly my favourite of this batch. If not my #1 favourite, it's certainly in the top6
Never buying straplocks again, this is a far better solution
Pleased with out it came out visually and sonically. The sound quality of this amp is excellent, very clear and detailed. Takes pedals very well too. No issues driving my 212.
At the link to my website below, there are 60 numbered articles covering every part of the project plus four additional articles describing the design process, covering tools and tips and listing the materials, parts & suppliers. These are richly illustrated with hundreds of detailed pictures and should be of general interest to Queen and Brian May enthusiasts including anybody who is considering embarking on a similar mission.

As I have mentioned in other threads, I got myself a knackered Epiphone so I could fix it, adapt it a bit and use it for daily practice without worrying about my kids scratching it etc. It's a plywood body with Epiphone pickups (sound good to me). The tuners were completely loose, the jack did not even engage with the contacts inside the guitar, one of the pickups had a disconnected cable, there was a missing knob... poor thing.
So I had a look on eBay (before finding this forum, regrettably) and bought the components, then with a bit of patience and help from my daughter I fitted everything. My only complaint is that the jack plate is flat and thus does not fit the curved body perfectly (suggestions are welcome). But aside from that, it plays great and sounds even better. Heck, it even makes ME sound good!
Here are a few pictures of the before and after:
