Should ship early next week.

I was thinkin' that was a cool white stripe paint job ya got there, but you should have done the entire back...

I'll bet that looks great in person. How about a few shots out in the sunshine...

There are some interminable weeks ahead. The butterflies in the tummy are full on now...

Those blinds reflections are pretty clear and detailed in the finish, Paul. You were not kidding about it being smooth!
I have to sit on my hands now...

Love that one! Deep Burgundy is a fantastic base for all the Rickenbacker detailing. Lovely.

Thanks to all for the great enthusiasm and kind remarks.

The actual instrument has nicely-ambered binding that doesn't show properly in the photos. It has a definite, strong 1960s vibe.

Pics of the finished item very soon.
