It's a cameo appearance for shy people.

Considering some of the reflex reflect actions we've had round here, it's a breath of fresh country air... ;D

Eight ounces of Reranch Lake Placid Blue, removed from the rattlecan, sprayed over Mohawk's white primer and under their Piano Lacquer.  Photographed with Panasonic Lumix-LX5.


Vintage tint Jazz neck.  Mohawk Light Natural Oak toner and Piano Lacquer


Last of the series II tailpieces.


This one goes to England after it gets a mint green pick guard.

Thanks, Guys! This one almost didn't get to go.  The UK has stopped insurance on Priority Mail packages from the USA.  Steve had to send a set of ThunderBuckers to England Express Mail to get insurance, cost $85 for less than a pound.  Then he found a company, Shipsurance, which does insure Priority Mail.  I'd almost resigned myself to keeping it.  Oh well, someday.  :)

That's going to look great with the pickguard. Looks great NOW!

Beautiful finish. If it were mine, I'd leave the pickguard off.
