That's only the sealer coat, i think its gonna be much better when the stain is on...

Pardon my noob-ness, but how can the stain soak into the wood if the wood is already sealed?

the 'sealer' coat actually gets sanded COMPLETELY off in the next step, so the stain has no problem penetrating the wood. Its job is only to fill deeper than normal pores in the wood, so that pigment doesnt accumulate in them when it gets the color coat.

It seems awfully labour intensive (and it is!) but it does ensure a smoother, more even finish in the long run...

It seems that the bridge we got for it was DEFECTIVE (saddles didnt line up evenly, and it only became evident just when it was about to go on!) - so Shamray is out trying to find another black bridge for you...

Yes, and I am told today that there are no more Hipshot bridges in Moscow - which means we will have to order another one from the factory in USA (2-3 weeks delay!) :-(

No kidding! unfortunately, your beautiful guitar has been put ON HOLD again :-(

Which is a shame, as i was very much looking forward to play-testing it this week (and you even more so, im sure!)

This afternoon, I personally ordered another bridge for you direct from the Hipshot factory in New York - and they will send it out "Global Priority Mail". So, if it doesnt get stuck in customs (cross your fingers!) then it could be here in a week or so...
