My 360/12 on Dale's work bench!

I received an e-mail by Dale Fortune today. He has finished my 360/12 today. It was a neck repair (neck was twisted) and I took the chance to let him install crushed pearl inlays. Looks good, doesn't it?
I'm excited like a child and hope to get back my beloved guitar within a few days. It will be a long journey back to germany...
Here are two pics of the guitar still on Dale's work bench.

You know? Can you imagine or did you have contact with Dale recently? Dale
knows that I'm anxious to get it back.
He's very busy at the moment and I had to wait longer than I had expected but I know that it's worth it.

I love those inlays, considering have them put on a CW.

I would love those inlays on any guitar, even if it wasn't a Rickenbacker. Unfortunately the CW doesn't have crushed pearl inlays.

I got my guitar back last saturday and just want to show you two better pics of the new inlays. Dale did a great job and I have to admit that I'm a little bit proud...

It's a shame that Dale himself isn't allowed on this forum to take a bow for his excellent work.
