Mica, I realized that after we talked on the phone that there is no LED on/off switch located on it.  I figure that would probably take up very little room but wanted to point it out now as opposed to later.
 
Something like this maybe?

DOH! We do need an LED switch (I should have seen those wires coiled up in the truss rod cavity). Let me think about this a little more and post a new pic for you later in the week.

Cool, sounds good.  If in doubt I'm basically married to my phone so you can give me a call anytime. :-)

Drilling template reveals all:

 
Everything is as far apart as possible, but it's still a tad more cramped than I would normally like. Of course, there are 3 more knobs than usual on this Rogue, so it's not that bad all things considered.

...and as we discussed on the phone it is perfect. :-)  I can't wait to see some shots with finish on it!

Brian,
 
Just curious... are you going with the clear finish or are you adding the amber tint?
 
It looks great- love that quilt

Clear clear clear!  I want to bask in the glow of the natural wood colors (or colours if you will).
 
Mica informed me this evening that the first coat of finish got applied to it at some point today.  She's hopeful that she will catch it between coats sometime soon and will post a picture.  I can't wait. :-)

Time for the long wait, Brian:

Until all the finish is sprayed, it won't look much different in a snapshot, so I probably won't be posting again until your bass is in rubout or setup.

I so needed this to take my mind off other things. :-)
 
That looks absolutely amazing and I'm sure it's even more amazing in person!  I could not possibly be happier with how it looks.  It is absolutely gorgeous.
 
The Long Wait(tm) cannot pass fast enough! :-)

I love this quilt!  There have been a lot of nice Maple Quilts recently, and this is certainly one of 'em!  I'm tilting my laptop at different angles looking at it!  This particular picture catches the light in such a way that it looks electric.

WOW! That quilt is fantastic Brian.

Nice quilt! Love it! Man I can tell the FTC page is going to cost me a lot of money...

Beautiful quilt~
 
Hard to tell, but it looks like the body wood (Mahogany?) has a bit of cool figuring or flame to it as well.  Nice choice on the headstock choice too (IMO).

briant

Thanks guys!  I really am stunned at how wonderful it looks.  I can't wait until this thing is in my hands!

Hey, Brian!
 
That's gonna be one LOVELY Rogue! Well thought out, I must add. Signature, B and T controls, Ebony Lam, Killler! Gonna sound as good as the quilt top looks! Can't wait to see the finished product.  
 
BCoool, Mike, tho =]
