LOTS OF PROJECTS NEARING COMPLETION...
This has never happened before in my brief history in the Rickenbacker hobby/business...I usually only work on more than two projects when one or more is hung up drying or for parts.
I have a 360WB being bound (in checkerboard!) and refinished in a yummy color, no less than five basses approaching completion (each one waiting for a part or two...), a full dozen acoustics in the works. all different and unique (six in early build stages, another six in various paint stages...). Then there's a very special "F" body in the middle of major surgery...and a 381V69 like you've never seen before.
Over the next few weeks, many of these will burst out of their shells into the world. Watch this space for photo coverage!

Re: LOTS OF PROJECTS NEARING COMPLETION...

i've got my fingers crossed that my bass is in this cluster!

Great, when I find a 4003 beater, you'll be able to get right to it and make me a phlemmy-glo!
Re: LOTS OF PROJECTS NEARING COMPLETION...
This will be entertaining. Stop writing about these works of art and start posting pics Paul. I have my multi purpose diaper cloth handy so when I drool I can wipe up the mess.

I've gone a lot of unique colors, Sean, but I've never figured how to make black actually glow...

OK, you want pictures?
Here's what happens here in Northern California when you accidentally leave a few Ricks out overnight, and you get a snap frost...

Looking forward to seeing these guitars, Paul. Especially the 381V69 like we've never seen before.
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS!
