Sweet!! I love the back laminate and I like the purpleheart-ebony-purpleheart combination without the accent laminates.

Beautiful top!!

I know that the top is magnificent, but there is something about that back.... I just can't look away....

And that is a phrase that would make my girlfriend kick me in the face....

Stunning, congratulations!

Greg

Mica, I am literally sitting here with tears in my eyes looking at this. It is gorgeous.

Jon, your last statement hit me with a huge surge of joy.

I am so happy for you too.

Look at the bass, just look at it...

Look at that fabulous bass of yours...

I knew that just one look at it, this was the bass I adore...

A Sammy Davis Jr. Swing remix...

I love how you can just catch a glimpse of the quilt top through the electronics cavity. Play it in good health Jon.

Jon,
you will get an awesome bass.

Greetings from a brother

That bass is gorgeous.

I want a 5 string with a nice bookmatched to center buckeye burl top.

jon_jackson · May 15, 2009, 05:24:24 PM

Buckeye burl would be an excellent choice for a dragon wing.

Still in spray. Here's a shot with the bass prepped for the next coat of finish (so still sanded):

I bet that Dragon will growl when it flies out! I like that design.

mica · July 13, 2009, 05:03:29 PM

Getting close to the finish line. Now the bass is rubbed out, ready to get the high gloss buffing next:

In setup, just getting the slots in the string nut cut:

Interesting shot. I don't think I've seen a picture of the nut slots in progress before.

Are we at the Stay The Course...Almost Done stage?
