Thank You all very much. That finish was matched exactly to the Montezuma Brown that was on it. Just having a great time working on the best guitars made. Dave I hope I can have your 4080 done for the Rick show in November. Dale

Stunning Dale. A finish fit for the king of guitars.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Dale, how long does it take you to do a finish like that?

3 months Gerry.
I thought that was pretty good.

It usually takes only 2 months, I had a few health issues that set me behind a month. But 3 months sounds good to me also. And BTW Mr. Scott, thanks for everything. You are a great person and to work with. Dale

Glad you are on the mend Dale. You have certainly underscored that your line of work comes with its hazards.

Dale, cue me up for one of those 2 month refins! I can attest that they are well worth the wait, no matter how long it takes (I've seen his work 1st hand many times!)!

Damn that's nice.

I'll give you $750.00 for it right now.


Seriously man, that could not have turned out better!
