Wow, wow, wow.

I haven't visited the Curmudge section in a while, but I spent about an hour the other night just marveling over this entire thread. I salute you for finding--no, making--the time to do all this, as well as teach and play surf music. Paul you are truly a modern Renaissance Man. Thanks for sharing your good work. -Mark

Aquabass nearly ready to ship...

It needs a couple of parts--on order from RIC--and it's off to its happy owner. The pickguard is painted in Aqua Pearl.

The inlays were done by Craig Lavin; I did the ebony fretboard and the refinish from a brand new FG V63.

Amazing!! And those inlays are something else!! What material(s) were used for the inlays?? Aquabass is certainly apropo. Another stellar piece!!

That is ridiculously gorgeous. I would almost be intimidated to touch the thing. Almost.

Paul: This instrument has more finishing touches than my imagination can create.

To hold it must rival arriving at a warm isle in the Carribean.

One of the most unique and exquisite instruments that I have had the pleasure of seeing on this forum.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
