It finally looks like my Project is done... until I find a real bridge I guess.

1. Body crack fixed
2. Binding reglued to body.
3. Thumbrest replaced with Pickguardian replacement
4. Original pickguard put back on, repaired near neck pickup
5. Replaced bridge P/U cover with that of the same era
6. Bridge/Tailpiece replaced with real rickenbacker bridge/tailpiece, cut split in tailpice, relic'd

A '68 4001 is my Holy Grail!

Looks great, Kevin. I'm glad you kept the original finish. Those wear marks by the pickguard add up to all kinds of mojo!
