NR Fenderbird almost done !
« on: June 13, 2008, 03:42:37 AM »
 I got the body back yesterday  from my friend Alan and boy does it look great ! I have the bass partly assembled, not wired up yet and the pickguard is a temporary one, I have one with the logo ready to go. I can't wait to plug this in !

Actually a cream body would look cool with the pickup, or a matching cream guard.

Oh yeah, it's really NICE!  Don't know how I missed this post.  I just can't get enough of white Gibsons.  Hardly any Gibson I've ever seen in white looks bad.  Tearing out the kitchen's been a real pain in the butt!  It keeps cutting into my bass time.

Wow, it's turning out real nice Scott. I remember it from way back in the DP times. You've had it for some time now right?

 Yeah I started it a while ago,but not to long ago, it has been sitting at my friends auto body shop for 4-6 months that has been the real hold up. I'll just shot bodies myself from now on.

I did not know you moved to Texas?

Now what about the Frosty you mentioned?

Just a tease?
