Wow! I know most everyone on here already knows the feeling of their first post with the first photos, but I am SO excited to see her finally! The wood looks remarkable...and I know it's gonna be unbelieveable with the first sealer coats done.
Mica...THANK YOU!

Thanks Dave...I think the top came out great, and I'm sure the back did too. It will have a heart omega with the ebony center stripe, which will look nice and sound great. The fun part is going to be doubling the size of my rig so I can play in stereo...woo hoo!

Partway through finish, getting the frets installed:

 Really great color on that Coco Bolo!  Plotting the inlaid logo position:

OK guys...I'm gonna hijack my OWN thread. We had to start over due to a change needing to be made, so here are a few photos of the new and improved Series II...
