Oh, your customer lets you pick the colour? Cool! We'll be patient and await your choice! 8)
If he'd have picked the color, it would have been finished ...err...a long time ago... :oops: :oops: :oops:

Well, let me just give you the advice, that whenever I take a quick decision it never turns our right.

Take your time, the inspiration for the right colour will come when the time's right :D

Not sure if I understood correctly, but you mean something like this, Jeffrey?

Yes but slide the controls down a bit until the volume control is in line with the bridge, please. :)

Ronald, they are indeed hollow on the control-side... semi-hollow means they have a center block for better sustain and to counter feedback. :P

Anyway, I still wanted to make a version with a smaller, elevated scratchplate. I kept the general shape, only made it to about 2/3 of what the current size is. This allows for much better knobs positioning, imo. Maybe I should try to see if I can photoshop a translucent one?

Ha! I trust your color choice, Paul. This should be a real "doozy". Top of the line Rickenbacker with a wild finish. And some other things................ :D

John, which model is Paul converting anyway? I'm sure she'll appear as nothing short of a beauty!

After all the photoshopping I've lost my RAS! Weird... :?:

Build something like a clock counting down to the release of the guitar and then a few days prior to it reaching 0 you simply say you need more R&D time :twisted:

The two sides of my brain are still argueing if you mean the evil bit, or rather, needing more time after it ran out :lol:
