A few more coats now, and the guitar is ready for inlays and fretting:
There's still many coats of finish after the frets are installed, but it's looking really great! |

Here's a picture of the inlays in place:
They look great!
Your guitar is back in spray and a few coats away from the final curing. |

Hey! Here's one all nice and shiny after the rubout:
You can tell how smooth the finish is.
While the pickups get their last little bit of finish done, the rest of the electronics and hardware are getting installed. I'll post more pics in a few days. |

I got the new address. This picture is from Monday:
We're just installing the switches for the Roland pickup scrolling, so as I explained to your wife this afternoon, I think we'll finish the guitar tomorrow or Friday, and ship it on Monday. We'll confirm with you guys by phone before it ships just to make sure someone will be home to receive it. |

We're really hoping for today. It's so darn close, but it's possible we won't be able to ship until the 13th. Here's where we were yesterday:
If you can't see the switches, don't worry... here's a clue:
They almost blend in with the grain. It's the first time we've fashioned the switches like this, and we're totally excited about how good they look, how well they work, and how nice they feel. Definitely superior to the included switches with the kit. |

Party at Dante's tomorrow:
We included the gold knobs you requested so if you prefer them, you can change them out. We tried it both ways and liked the black ones better since they didn't compete with the depth of the wood. |

In the last photo, the string cuts the "t" just enough so it looks like the inlay says "DANCE"..... 
It's a very inspiring guitar to say the least, and Im sure it'll get the crowd up off their feet! |
