 About time I got to this, it's been primed for a few years. Reranch Pelham Blue. It started out like this

I also didn't realize it was just primed. No doubt it will look good in Pelham Blue.

Being the obsessive I am, I remembered it was primered and wondered what color you'd decide on. It looks spectacular, Scott! Beautiful work.

 Thanks guys! I was going to do it Polaris White but Reranch didn't have it  as a stock Gibson color, they did have Pelham Blue so I went with that. I am trying to knock out a few projects like this that have been laying around forever, my deep cutaway Fenderbird is getting attention also.

And here was me mentioning slowburner projects on another thread... ;)

Cool, I got excited when Reranch added Pelham blue and I have been waiting to see a project using it. I remember seeing that picture of your half missing NR body but I couldn't find the thread where you rebuilt it. Can you post a link here?

I thought the same thing. Pelham Blue will be cool.
