The back of the neck looks magic!!

Wonderful guitar Dale! If you send it to me I can make great photographs of it. I am a photographer and can make her shine!

I'll drop it in the Mail tomorrow Jeffery. I had to post 2 more pictures of 2 nice guitars napping on the bed.

Dale,
Thanks so much for this project. It has been fun and educational to watch another's techniques especially from such a distance. Kudos!

Dale, the guitar is one of the most beautiful I have seen and the journey was unforgettable. I learned so much from your meticulous step-by-step details.

You are indeed Master Luthier. We are fortunate to have had you share you knowledge and expertise. Thanks.

Dale, fine work! Love the way you mixed the color. I was most curious about the mix when you started the project and I must say it came out real well! Kudos, sir, we're not worthy.

I have to say that I am one lucky guy! Dale brought the new Electro over for a test drive today. What a sweet ride! Unfortunately, I had it plugged into my Ampeg B15 bass amp but it still sounded strong and sweet. The feel and playability were fantastic! Great neck and very light weight. The color is a nice Autumnglo (hopefully my natural light photos will show well) and the crushed pearl inlays are unbelievable! Great job Dale and thanks for the loan of this beauty!

Well, the photos came out a little more red than real life but I can tell you from in hand personal
viewing it is gorgeous!

Those crushed pearl inlays are simply the dogs b*ll*cks...
Dale, would you be interested in building a bass?

Andrew, I Can most certainly build you a Bass Guitar, but if it's anything that will compromise Rickenbackers trademarks, then you must call John Hall and get his blessing and O.K.
Ratso, your pictures turned out GREAT. I want to thank you very much from my heart. The C.P. inlays do look great, much better than my digi cam pictures.
