Bill's Custom Further

[lbpesq]

Thanks Flax.  I stopped by today after hours to drop off my bass player's broken SF-2.  I went back in the spray room and saw the completed inlay.  WOW!  Then, I turn around and, lo & behold, hanging right in front of me is the Scooter Tribute Bass.  Way cool.  I can't wait to see the top under finish.
 
Bill, tgo

Wow!
 
It looks really three-dimensional , seems like a shame to sink it into the finish ... And on the back of the peghead?
 
Anyhow ... wow again!

[grateful]

I've seen an inlay like that before!  Looking really sweet Bill.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the Further.  Will this make the back of the headstock too high?

[lbpesq]

Not necessarily, but it does reinforce the scarf joint!
 
Bill, tgo

William...William...William. Between the coco bolo and this exquisite inlay, you're gonna need to play that thing backwards!!!
 
Really a beautiful instrument.

[paulman]

Mmmm, scarf joint...aagghhhaaaa
 
All kidding aside, this is one gorgeous guitar.  Makes me dream of when I will have my custom Further built.

is it soup yet?

[lbpesq]

Flax:
 
No soup for me!  Still doing the waiting for the inlay shuffle.  Thanks for asking.
 
Bill, tgo

You and me both!  Breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth.
 
Count to 10... happy place.

Jeff,
 
I'm not even going to try.  You win, hands down.  In my defense, I am days away from my 20 month anniversary of ordering.
 
Bill, I heard rumor that the fabled machine/tool (that will make all those letters for your final inlay) was getting near to the mothership.  Hopefully it won't take too much longer.

I just checked.  My FTC thread precedes your's by about 3 weeks.  May 2005 vs. June 2005, so we're almost twins!  Sounds like you've been talking to Susan.  Oh well, the wait is sort of like looking for parking in a downtown area.  The search for the spot is all-consuming, frustrating, a major hassle.  But once the parking spot is found and the car parked, you walk away completely forgetting the time spent searching.  At least that's what I keep telling myself (and I may have mentioned it once or twice to our poor suffering friend Flax, too).  Someday the three of us will be able to hoist a brew and laugh about this.  (Does this qualifiy as hijacking my own thread?  LOL)  
 
Bill, tgo

We'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of this Bill.  We're here to talk about your guitar, not to talk about your guitar.
 To be or not to be.  THAT is your guitars question.
What a useless post.  I'm sorry. I'll stop now.
