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