Keyboard died on my desktop, I can post pix but have to add type from my netbook.

This JAEbird is sounding very close to right with Rock Masters on it.  Shipping Friday.  That reflection is my trailer,about 30 feet away and a tree in my front yard, about 100 feet off 

While I was shooting black I deBaCHed my Honeyburst NR headstock and made a more correct trussrod cover for it.  Gotta paint those screws black.  Will do the same to the white one.

I hope to ship another JAEbird next Friday, have to remix Seafoam for more pop and shoot a body tomorrow.  Going for that Billy Shehan Yamaha green.



Come to Daddy!

OK..that was creepy....anyway...can't wait!  It is worth the wait if it looks as good (or better) in person as it does in the pics.

I've been using their stuff since 1986 when they were in upstate NY, thus the name.  Now owned by RPM and located in NC.

When I first started buying Mohawk it was only sold direct to industry, now you can find local distributors and paint stores that sell some of their products.  Their tone color rattlecans are very good for shading, I've used them for vintage tint on necks.  "ultra classic light natural oak" works well.  They sell sanding sealer and clear in rattlecans also.

I buy from Pondcove in NH, they run sales with free shipping with over a $100 order every six months or so

I mix my colors from red, blue and yellow base color concentrate in either clear or white lacquer.

My JAEbird is in the country, currently with Customs.  That means it should be delivered on Monday :-)

Nice to know the Aussie bureaucracy is as good as the USA's.

I thought it would be fitting to finish up a Seafoam bass on St. Patrick's Day for an Italian guy from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY.  My hometown.  

#006 leaving tomorrow.

Just got off the phone with the postal service.  They say it's at their mail sorting centre, which means it won't get delivered today (it's Friday here).  So, Monday it is.
