I'm told you've got to be careful with that stuff - the risk of Lenticular cancer is quite high.....

I always wanted to do a segment on my radio show with a weatherman named Len Ticular, mostly just so I could turn to him and say, "By the way, Len, how's your sister Tess?"

They are cousins of Pearl Essent and her sister, Lumen.
And also related to the Evenings, Sam and Janet.

Ron, I am excited to see and play the guitar, but the experience of watching Paul bring this guitar back to life has been half the enjoyment, and will make this guitar special.

I enjoyed the process of the restoration but I wish the beginning pictures were still available too see. I wish... I wish....

David, you've got a nerve bringing this back on-thread, LOL!
Here it is as it arrived:

...as it was scraped:

...the fiberglass and bondo that was uncovered:
...the crack underneath:
...repairing the crack with a thin strip of poplar:
Jigging it up for routing and refretting:

The neck just before fretting:
Finally, sealing just before applying the dye:
The rest is shown in previous posts.
David, I'll be giving you a CD with all of the photos (maybe about 150-200?) of the entire process, with the guitar when I ship it on Monday. I've moved the shipping date to Monday because there are several guitars going out on that date.
