Not a patch on yours Ken. The finish you have can only come with 30 years of age.

Nice. On a side note, I'm taking a furniture making class at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa. You should see some of the birds eye veneer they've got in there. I can't wait to get my planken spankers on that!

Ken, that bass has been there for many months, but yes it is a real beauty.

Erik, at one time that's where ALL the wonderful Maple was going to- veneer. Fortunately for us Maple freaks, the architectural wood style du jour has changed to darker, tropical woods.

The folks selling the Rick at the beginning of the thread say year unknown. You'd think a guitar retailer could figure it out.
