Mad scramble to clean the shop today, company arriving tomorrow along with ThunderBuckerTM Pickup Prototypes.  Thought I'd get some finished snaps before I started.

It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed

Nice tasteful logo!

Agree, but I think, considering the band JAE was in, I woulda made the top of the "d" into an arrow as in:
"Top 10 Best Bass Players" 2014 Austin Music Poll
"Top 10 Best Bass Players" 2013 Austin Music Poll
"Top 10 Best Bass Players" 2012 Austin Music Poll
"Top 10 Best Bass Players" 2011 Austin Music Poll
"Top 10 Best Bass Players" 2010 Austin Music Poll

Thanks, simple logos for (my) simple mind.  I don't have a spraybooth, just 20 years of shooting paint.  The amount of overspray is minimal with the right air pressure, paint viscosity and gun settings.  You could easily get away with a 4'x8' sheet of OSB with15x15" cutouts and 2'x8' side wings using filter media with no exhaust fan.

I considered it but figured the light blocky letters on black were enough of a reference.  Seems to have worked.

Might as well be. He's not Boris, only has 6 legs.  Thanks, Kenny.

Black, no less- the hardest color to do on a guitar- nothing like a nice challenge. Can't wait to see your cutaway Fbird Scott.
