Nice!
It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed

I doubt it'll balance after you put that heavy headstock logo on there  ;D

Looks very nice Carlo. Whats happening with the tailpiece screws? The bottom one looks a little off center or is that just how the pic is making it look?

They are staggered, middle screw toward the neck.  Stronger that way.

I am now sending touch up paint from the exact gun cup used on each 'Bird and Meguier's Ultimate Polishing Compound to care for the Nitro finish.



Here's how I pack 'Birds not ordered with case...all packing materials courtesy Allparts. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.









NEW LOGO coming ;D



PS: How'd she sound?

JAE referred to his basses as male.  I agree, my basses are definitely an extension of ME as evidenced by what the Cataldo logo looks like from a few feet away.  Sound through the B-15 is very satisfying, especially tuned down a 1/2 step.

Please set the new bird up for 1/2 step down tuning also.  The black one will remain in std tuning and the  63  thunderbuckers for it are  being shipped today  :mrgreen:

Good point. I guess, thanks to my father and his '55 Chevy Bel-Air, that I'm used to calling things "she".

Man, that thing is beautiful Carlo! From afar, I really like the way that logo sits on the headstock too. Being set up half-step down will make it perfect for my upcoming blues power trio.

Thanks again!

Glad you're liking it, Dave. Hope the "Real Thing" doesn't disappoint

The first perfect one I make, I'm quitting and keeping it.  Very little danger of that happening.
