I noticed that when Dale stripped the body with chemical stripper he stayed away from the binding to later take it down by sanding. I learned that the hard way...

Scott, as a matter of fact, Dale just sent some final pics, and it looks like I should have the bass back this week.
She looks great, Dale has out done himself.
I'll post a bunch of pics on Photobucket when I get it back.
Thanks for asking!Image

That is beautiful. Love the layered black pickguard. And, my, don't it shine!

Fantastic job. It certainly holds a candle to any I have seen.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Great Job (as usual) Dale! That last shot really reflects the overhead lamp just like a mirror would! Can't wait to see mine!
