beautiful work as always ! Love the sunburst.

Thanks guys,  some of those old Fender burst finishes really look nice, even after 41 years!  They are prone to chipping, but they are still quite beautiful.

I suspect one of the important factors is that they haven't been exposed to much sunlight.  The reds and earth tones in 'bursts seem especially vulnerable to sun fade.

Dave, you don't have that Coro anymore?

Not for about 3 years.

I put Rotosounds jazz flats on mine and it thumps like crazy!  Since it was a guitar body originally, it didn't have those dual thumb rest holes in the top, but it is set up for a pickguard.  I'm tempted to make one for it!
