As some of you may remember, I started a renovation of a '62 625 a few months ago. It's done (or as done as it's going to get, unless I decide to add a bridge cover).
I've attached a couple of pictures of the finished guitar. For the full details, you can see a pictorial history of the entire process
here.

A meticulous job backed up with very nice step by step documentation. Thanks for sharing this information and demonstrating what can be done with a guitar that some might have considered a lost cause. The Rickenbacker quality shines through after 40 years.

I very much admire your talent. I can't even wax my car without breaking something.
