I'd do it for you, Melissa, but I think i've spent way too much time in Photoshop today, LOL.

Thanks for the thought.... the vision inside my head is already crystal clear!

I just need somebody (and the money) to make it REAL! I suppose there is somebody who could do it, but it's the other part that has me stuck right now, LOL!

Paul, you are free to use my name. It shouldn't surprise me that you pay so much attention to detail. It is so well documented in other projects, yet it never ceases to amaze me how thorough you are. Thanks for explaining it here. I know how much I'm going to love it when it finally makes its way to me.

More amazing stuff from the Curmudge! Lovely work, Paul.

For Melissa:

OHHHHH MAN! I want that.... I want that very, very, very BADLY!

It will take me a very long time to save enough to buy a 350 and then get it modded to look like that....

Thank you, John, that is beautiful!

Here are some more pics of Brian's 350V63, after the Accent was added and it was strung up once again. You can see the black edges on the new "F"-hole.

So, basically, it's a JL FG 1996 copy, but with a long neck.

I just noticed that the Treble Tone knob is off register. It's gonna drive Tony crazy...

That's an understatement. I'm out of words....

I've been thinking the same thing, Melissa!

Thanks Howard! I am anxiously awaiting her arrival. Their has been more to the story than what meets the eye, and Paul has been helpful with more than just the work to the guitar.

My next project (or should I say Paul's next project) was to refinish a 425V63 Burgandyglo to a Jetglo to match Geroge's, however, I have a line on a 425V63 Jetglo from Mike at RIC's R Us, so I decided to refinish the Burgandyglo to an Amber Fireglo to match what George originally saw in the music shop. I will keep you updated on that project as well.

Thanks again Paul!

George's original '62 425 was 5 serial numbers away from this one. Kind of an "orange-y" FG.
