Insane work there, sir.

That's just all kinds of wild! Forget Murkat, long live MERLIN!

Great work, sir. If anything around here ever needs help (besides me), it is headed your way!

Sometimes a girl needs a new outfit to feel pretty. Jay is dolling her up very well. She is going to be a stunner.

Strange figuring on that veneer! And how are you going to get that Sharpie out?!?

Kinda hate to see the wyldbil fixed up. I pulled it outta an apartment fire in NYC around '94. Awesome work as usual

I am just a contractor for the client. I do what I am told. :)

Top scraped, light sanding on wyldbil.

I kinda liked the Plywood Top.

You can always get a 335!

I imagine when keeping the nibs there's no easy way to true/plane the fingerboard while frets out? Sacrificing one of the benefits of a refret?

Posted

You are correct. There is no easy way to true and plane the board with the original binding nibs.

But,

the task was acomplished. Look closely at some of the pics.....

After my conversation with Jay last Friday, I was pretty sure it was going to be fantastic. He seems to toy with understatement, if you know what I mean. When I first discussed this project with him, Jay said "I have some really good one-piece veneer". I think that's evident.

I'm loving this stroll down NTL Bench Report lane....
