Bummer today!  I went to pick up the BillyBo and it wasn't finished.  Seems there were some lacquer lifting issues around the vol/tone holes.  Not sure what happened, but he's going to strip and redo the top.  Back, neck and sides are fine.  It's always something.  Maybe another week or so.......  :-[

Well, this is finally in the home stretch!  Got the body back from the finisher and it turned out great.  Gold top is really slick and the dark walnut stain on the back goes with it perfectly.  I really like how the gold top looks on this body style.  The typical red "only"  Billybos are a bit repetitious.  I'll get rest of the hardware on it this week depending on how I feel.

Looking good, Bill. Agreed, better gold than another red one.
