It always amazes me how the wood comes to life when finishing is done. Congratulations, Keith!

Wow - the top and the birds are going to make this such an amazing series bass. Is it just me or are all the facory to customer instruments absolutely stunning at present - looks like we are going to need two or three featured customs per month for the next few months :-) can't wait...

All lined up for flight:
inlay

And starting to get dropped in place:

Actually, they are all in now, but I wasn't fast enough with the camera - the fingerboard is all covered with tape and the bass is back in spray for the last few coats of finish.

No problem on missing the completed inlays. It will just be that much more of surprise seeing it all together. I guess this means we are in the final stretch with the inlays being complete and the finish being finished.

Among my favorite FTC threads, having a soft spot for shorties.
This is / will be a stunning bass!

That's nice. I'm also loving the look of the accent laminates.

Mica,
Thank you for the update and the picture. When we last talked you said it might need to go back for another round of finish so no surprise there.
