My 360/12 on Dale's work bench!

[Ric-360-12FG]

I received an e-mail by Dale Fortune today. He has finished my 360/12 today. It was a neck repair (neck was twisted) and I took the chance to let him install crushed pearl inlays. Looks good, doesn't it?
I'm excited like a child and hope to get back my beloved guitar within a few days. It will be a long journey back to germany...

Here are two pics of the guitar still on Dale's work bench.

OOOooooh, the pearlies look NICE!

Looks great! I know you're anxious to get it back.

[Ric-360-12FG]

You know? Can you imagine or did you have contact with Dale recently? Dale knows that I'm anxious to get it back. He's very busy at the moment and I had to wait longer than I had expected but I know that it's worth it.

Looks wonderful, Michael! Dale certainly knows his stuff!!!

Nice job on those inlays there, and guitar looks great too.

Ooh, nice. Looks tres vintage, if I do say so myself.

I love those inlays, considering have them put on a CW.

[Ric-360-12FG]

I would love those inlays on any guitar, even if it wasn't a Rickenbacker. Unfortunately the CW doesn't have crushed pearl inlays.

I got my guitar back last saturday and just want to show you two better pics of the new inlays. Dale did a great job and I have to admit that I'm a little bit proud...

A gorgeous instrument and a look at the past. Thanks for the links, Michael.

Very nice! I do like the look of those inlays!

It's a shame that Dale himself isn't allowed on this forum to take a bow for his excellent work.
