Hey Rusty! Great talking to you today! I didn't stay late enough to get all the guts installed, but here is a little peek at what's to come. Looks freakin' awesome!!!!!
 
 

And of course, I mean I didn't stay long enough to take a picture with all the guts installed - James is who actually takes care of that!

Beautiful !

Absolutely stunning Mica! Thanks so much for the phone call & the picture! I'm pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming! It may not have knobs yet, but it has strings & that means it is near completion & I couldn't be more excited! I love the contrast between the dark Walnut & the Quilted Maple!  
 
This morning I got to be there for the birth of my grand daughter & now my other baby is almost ready to be born! This will be my best Thanksgiving ever!
 
I hope you get to feeling better & wish you & your family a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving!

Rusty:
 
Congratulations on two fronts...your grandchild and your bass.  I must admit I initially had the bass listed first but after thinking about having my own 1st grandchild this past May (who lives in El Paso) changed the order.  Enjoy her!  Being a grandparent has been great.  All reinforcement and none of the hassles.

Congrats on the granddaughter.  And the bass is looking pretty good!

You're a doubly lucky fellow Rusty. I'll add my congrats on the new youngster, and concur with Mica on the bass. It it indeed, freakin'awesome!

Thanks for all the congrats on my grand daughter! She is such a blessing & has helped keep my mind off my Europa as we come to the home stretch of the build! Here's is my little Zoey, hopefully we will see some pictures this week of the birth of my other baby, Blue Orca!

Mica's last picture has disappeared, so here it is again -
 

Congratulations on both the bass and more importantly your grand-daughter.
She looks safe and content in your arms.
Rusty, she has your hair!
It is with eager anticipation that I also await the pictures of finished Orca in situ and on stage.
God bless your family

Thanks Slawie! God has indeed richly blessed my family, especially this week!

Congratulations on your new grand-daughter, Rusty. Grand-kids are great! Also, congrats on your other new baby still being finished. The blue looks fabulous!

Thanks Rob!

Your grand daughter looks beautiful as does your bass. I'm surprised you somehow didn't convince the parents to work either blue or orca in to her name though you haven't shared her middle name with us yet. Now that would have been a real reason to name a bass (or a grand daughter).
