Thanks, Aitch!

How about this one, a 370/12V64 with CB binding:

Hi Paul,

Just wondering if you have a name for your new workspace yet?

How about "The Jangle Jungle".

Thanks for the look at the 37012V65 with CB.

Best,

Manta

Tim:

I'm drinking my evening cuppa jangle juice, thinking about it...let me get back to you on that...

Only thing that could make that guitar even prettier is crushed pearl inlays...............

...and when you see the color it's being painted, you'll be even more sure of that comment, John...

This is gonna be good! Can't wait, Paul.

The 370/12V64 w/CB looks great but I think it should have white binding on the soundhole too.

This is going to be good

+1 on the sound hole binding

+2 on that, good buddies...

+3

Why stop at the soundhole? CB binding around the pickup routes too!

"Jangle Juice"

Paul, what a beautiful project. Eager to see the finish color.
I see you have put a clearcoat on the fretboard prior to the main finish.
New finishing schedule?

Nope. If I'm building, or if I'm refretting then the fretboard is stripped and receives a finish along with the rest of the instrument. In this case, the fretboard is already finished from the factory, so I left it as is. It will be sanded and given only one thin fresh coat of varnish to "freshen it up" and blend it into the rest of the body's varnish coat.

Just stumbled onto this thread after being away on vacation....

YOW!!!! That custom Blueburst Comstock is outrageously beautiful! Awesome work, Paul! Alisha, you must be ecstatic!

.... And I can't wait to see Tim's 360 PBR!

Lots of cool stuff happening here!
