Thanks guys. And James, Thank You!!! That t-shirt is perfect inspiration. Mica the pics are great. You're the best.

The other koko (backside of course!):

 I know it's hard to only see the back, but the front has even more glue obscuring the shell, so it's harder to see anything. James left these in little baggies, and I dare not risk removing them for fear of losing a tiny piece.   Here's the notes:

Mica,
 
Thanks for the pics. Everything looks great and I'm really excited.

The notes are in the fingerboard:

 

  First koko is going in the board in a day or two.

Mica, I'm blown away!!! The inlay is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to see the Kokos in place.

So now's the moment of truth, time to inlay the body. Here's the initial placement of the last three inlays:

And also spread out a little more:

This is just too cool for words.

Mica,
 
You're going to think I'm nuts, but after all our discussions today, I keep going back to your original positioning from today. I like the closer grouping because of the way it flows from the last note on the fingerboard.  
 
Maybe we straighten out the middle note, but not too much.  
 
Call me when you get into the office and we'll discuss, but I think we're ready to finish this guy up.

Thanks Jim. You're right, words just don't work.

Here's the layout after moving the middle filter control over to make a traingle out of the filters and not a parallelgram out of the four controls:

 
It looks good, and I think it will give the separation you wanted for using the controls. I've also reversed the positions of the LED switch and the boost switch. Let me know if this looks good enough to drill.
