"Aquaglo" is the bomb! It really is the finest burst color IMO.

Looks like the 325 is drilled for a Bigsby. Hmmm. Gold guards and hardware Paul? Gold toasters? Gold Bigsby?

I think I'm head over heals in love with that guitar. I can't stop looking at the photos.

Man, I'd like my 4005 in Aquaglo. This I must ponder.

Mink will be a very interesting and subtle color, Mr. Boyer!

Jerry, an Aquaglo 4005 would be one for the books!

Well, Paul Boyer's book for starters...

Right, Paul?

Mmmm. Aquagloooooooo !

Mmmmmmm. Miiiiinnnnnkkkkkkk !

Yeah, I haven't figured yet whether to put refins, customs, and highly modifieds in a special gallery or just explain them with captions in their parent model chapters. First, get the pics and info, then do the arranging.

It is hanging up and the finish will be curing over the weekend.

Should be a wrap by end of next week or sooner.

More pics during color sanding, rub out and assembly.

Take a deep breath before your next 'viewing', Melibee! Can't have you panting and gasping now, can we?? Image

That's a good thing, then. There's plenty in the 'Curmudge' section that'll do that to you, eh?

I don't even need to go that far....

Just need to open the 330 case in my family room and take a deep breath (smell that Zymol!), and enjoy my Purpleburst perfection.... Image Oh, and I love to hear it sing! Bet it would sound REALLY amazing if it were someone other than me playing it, LOL!

Browsing here is just the icing on the cake. Image
