Norlin?

Norlin used to own Gibson in the 70's (??).

NO...! Surely not... Darth Hornung...!!!

I thought Darth Hornung played running back for the Packers in the mid-60's.

Darth had a great football career and later retired to the Haight to play ghost bass for Firesign Theater.

I think he looks more like Chewbacca* in that pic

Wow... never knew Uwe had sporting cousins, and Stateside too...

AH!  Then he's probably responsible for that deathless & oft-quoted phrase "Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers."

[sniper]

probably he is but for some unknown reason my memory from that era seems to be a bit shall i say "shrouded in mist". i am sure you will understand. i thought i was doing well to remember the name of the group! but alas for divine intervention i did pass my E-5 examination one of those next mornings up there at Rhode Island Naval Base.

this was obviously before i fell in love with watching old Gibsons being restored to playability. what are you going to do with that extra hole in the control section Doc?

I guess that explains why this EB-3l is such a mongrel!  Oh well, at least it's unusual!

I dotted the "i" last night and will install the crown when it lands.

I am covering all of the extra control holes except the original ones with veneer and then plugging them.

This is it for a bit while I tape up some of my other projects for S&S this weekend.  Next major item for this will be veneering the face of the body and installing the fret board.  I'll post some pics then!

I didn't get squat done this weekend.  I started installing a new sliding pocket door for our walk-in closet (required removing the old swinging door, frame and drywall and starting over) and wasted the entire weekend!  And it's still not finished!!!!   

Maybe I can spray some basses this weekend......................

Bummer!  Monday the humidity got down to a Desertlike 43% for a few hours and I was able to get two basses sprayed.  Back up in the 90s since then.  Hope your weekend is dry.

Dang, you've experienced a lot wetter deserts than I have........
