Hey all!

I received an update from Dale this morning, and have some pics!
Feast your eyes on these...

Soon...

I'd put a dot at the 17th fret too just to be different.

It's got one... you mean the 19th?
That wouldn't be true to vintage spec, although I believe the earliest V63's did have it IIRC.

The board looks great!

Sean, ya, I meant the 19the fret. I know it's not vintage spec, but it always bothers me when I see that dot left out. That's why on my 21 fret 4008 I had one put at the 19th and 21st fret.

I've been reeding this forum for about a year and a half now and I don't want to sound stupid but here goes.

What does IIRC mean???

IIRC- If I Remember Correctly!

"If I remember correctly".

Gotcha... I should have figured that one on my own.
Oh well...you learn something new every day!

The board does look like the 60's darker rosewood. Good job Dale, as ever...

Looking forward to seeing the finished project...

It will look like Maurice Gibbs Bass when finished
