Binding can truly be a bitch.. Everything you are doing looks great. Congrats!

[drbassman]

Thanks, I can't wait to do the back binding.   

[drbassman]

Binding is installed.  Now on to the neck install...........

[Basshappi]

Lovin' it!

[Highlander]

Very nice...

[drbassman]

Lovin' it!

Yep, I was able to match the f-hole binding really well.

Glued the neck on this morning...............

[Highlander]

Looking good, Bill... any decision on the fin yet...?

[eb2]

This is wonderful. I haven't even looked here before this morning.  Per usual, nice work.  It may be unusual, but this might look nice in a Framus-style Black to cherry red burst.  Or natural.  Or regular tobacco burst.  It just looks nice already.

[drbassman]

I'm still thinking about the fin too.  I can't decide.  I'm seriously considering a medium amber tint to make it look like an aged natural finish.  How's that sound?

The black-cherry burst is a cool finish.  It might look good on this.  I saw one just yesterday on the Hofner forum and it wasn't bad.

[Highlander]

I know you have that "Very-Cherry" issue... 

[Dave W]

Good to see you're moving along again.

I vote for medium amber.

[Lightyear]

Very nice!

How has the stripe in the top done?  Has it aged in any?

I vote for amber with a very muted burst, or darkening, to the sides.

I like the muted amber burst idea.  Here's the red burst I was talking about.............
