Very nice indeed! You are amassing quite an arsenal.

My only regret is that I only have two hands.

Hi Olie,  Series I and II instruments usually don't have switches for the LEDs since they don't depend on betteries for power. The exception is Laser LEDs, which may need to be quieted during certain performances.   Here's some goodies from last week for your construction:

I love the wood.  This one's going to be fun to watch.  Enjoy the Holidaze.

Great wood choice and placement! I can't quite decide whether I prefer the top or the back (and BTW, why isn't it top/bottom or front/back?), though I think this is the right choice.
 
Either way, I think both are going to look even better once they've been rounded at the edges. This is going to be a beauty, congrats.

Very nice olie! This one's moving along faster than I thought. Can't wait to see the inlay work!
Happy holidays.

Hi Mica, I was curious as to when we would start going over the neck inlays. I know we're pretty far off on that but I would like to get a rough idea of the cost.  
 
Thanks, Olie

It's in spray now. In this photo, it's still wet, and I couldn't get around to the front.  

I'll try and get one of the front soon!

olieoliver

WOW!, thanks Mica. It looks great. I'm anxious to see the front. The back looks better than I expected.

Truely beautiful!
I'm going to enjoy seeing (and wishing I could hear) a four- string with this much ebony/purpleheart in the neck.
Way too cool for school.
