Here she is. 













Gonna have to build a tongue for the heel plate and a few other things, but she'll be fine.

Looks in remarkably good shape for older unfinished parts. A couple of rough edges, nothing you can't easily take care of.

For sure. I got two Hofner staple pups and I'm keeping the wiring simple with two vols and one tone.  I found a place in the UK with nice repro pickguards too.  This is gonna be fun!

What do you mean by that?

I meant tenon, but tongue came out.  Do you think I should mount the neck without a tenon?

I am just glad the good doc got ahold of this one.  Putting it together would be far beyond my skills, and those of many home hackers.  But in bill's hands, I'm looking forward to a wonderful result.

There y'go.  There's no heavier burden than great expectations...... :-X

Geez, let's not inflate my ego so much!  I'm still learning as I go here.  This is just another step in the journey!   :)

Hey man, it's just like when you were a kid and your parents said "You have such great POTENTIAL."

A heavy burden to bear!

I'm glad you finally found us!  That's my other brother, Bill.  I'm pretty sure I mentioned the Reranch forum in the past.  Lots of good trade secrets to be learned there............for free!
