Lookback-build pics, #73

I was cleaning up my email and moving stuff over to imgur and I decided that these might be of interest. 

I was asked not to post these during the build, but it should be safe now.😃

Fingerboard and binding-the neck was bound with the outer layer of the two piece checkerboard binding

Mike's impeccable binding work (find the seam)

At this point Mike decided that the binding looked a little too white. He told me they were going to "do something with the binding". That was the last I saw of the guitar before it arrived, other than this teaser Trish sent the night before it shipped...

Oddly enough, I bought a stash of that binding from Winfield a while back, and the day it arrived, I saw the first pic of yours with the stuff!  

I've got it on a Telecaster, and really love the way it looks.  Nobody does it like Mike, that's for sure...

That is a very, very cool Ultimate.  

Great build from a great builder!

Enjoy!

Really cool! This is my ultimate shape of an electric guitar. Great to see Mike keeps building them.

ETA: Forgot about to saying congratulations!

This one still kills me ... love it!

Josh-

The pickups in it kill me right back. The PAF sound I have chased for decades. Just amazing how sensitive they are both to playing technique and small control tweaks. 

Looking forward to another guitar equipped with your fantastic pickups.
