Always (well except from me :-)) known to us as the Union Jack here in Australia as well. I said earlier "when at school we were told it is The Union Flag not Union Jack". A little time reading up on this subject suggests common usage makes Union Jack acceptable even correct now.
 
Project "4th build" has now been sitting for a week with another week to come before I can do the final cutback and polish.
Then we will get the soldering iron out and assemble the little folly :-) in the meantime I've FINALLY started project "5th build".
I'll start another thread for #5 and come back here soon.

Very well done!
 
Today I cut the finish back with 2,000 grit and went through the first two polish compounds. Happy with the result so far and it will get a little better.
Had to fit the tuners and place the bridge and pickup to get the vibe of the thing, happy so far :-)

They're never finished but for now I'm calling this done.
I'll eventually upgrade pickup and pots and in a month or two get into some serious buffing, but that's it, well for now :-)
