That sure turned out nice. But we knew all along that Dolan would do it right.

 Thanks guys I am going to do her in polaris white. Michael really did a nice job, There is a small volute on the back of the headstock that I am very glad to see. It will add a little extra strength and also mark the bass as not all original, something that has concerned me once (after I'm dead) the bass is out of my possession that it does not get passed off as all original. Bill I can't wait to see this with the tail piece on it !

Very nice.

(more hesitantly): And there will be no Badass bridge?
