Ya know, Rusty, speaking as an expat-Texan to a still-residing-in-Mother-Texas citizen (especially since we're both from East Texas), it occurs to me that we should possibly consider forming an 'Texas Society of Alembics in Color' , so we can separate ourselves somewhat from our esteemed colleagues who are unfortunately doomed to a) not be from Texas, and b) live with B R O W N guitars and basses. Whoops, gotta go, 'Giant' is coming on next on TCM !

I can't wait to see it blue!! rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 1284 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Friday, August 08, 2014 - 5:12 pm:    Hey Mica, quick question, when I was there last month I didn't notice the holes for the side mounted jacks, although I didn't specifically look for them (I was too much in awe of the inlays to think about the jacks!) so I wanted to make sure they get drilled before the final finish is sprayed. Thanks! rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 1285 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Friday, August 15, 2014 - 11:34 am:    It's Friday, could their be any blue pictures yet??? :-) mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8233 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, August 15, 2014 - 1:07 pm:    First hint of blue: There is more to come, but this is how it all starts. rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 1286 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Friday, August 15, 2014 - 1:48 pm:    YEAH!!!

I'm sure Rusty is asleep but I can't be certain if it's because he is tired or has seen the pictures and passed out. :-) It's looking great. (Message edited by Jazzyvee on August 27, 2014)
