Thanks so much for sharing this! But, it's teaser for what follows: the sunburst. IMNSHO, Dale does the best sprayed sunburst on the planet. Can't wait to see (and play and record) the finished product!

Thanks for posting the video mate. A big thanks to Dale as well for taking the time.

Ahh, the reveal.....

Pretty awesome. I'm excited for us!

Gorgeous!

I’m currently out of the country (in Oslo, for a conference and for a Kalamazoo Gals event, today. This fellow and a prominent Norwegian woman guitar player will play the went-to-WWII SJ for a video recording). I return home Sunday night and hope to get to DAle’s shop, minty 1943 SJ in hand, before the guitars head for their rightful homes.

Beautiful guitars. Thanks for the thread, it has been a pleasure to see these beauties take shape.

Awesome! Can’t wait to hear your first impressions when it arrives. I think you’ll find that even the photos don’t do it justice...

So happy to hear you will be able to play these Gals before they take their maiden adventure to the great west.... Very busy schedule for you, we do appreciate all that you’ve done for this cause....

Returned home from Oslo late last evening (well, really, early this morning). RE-grouping and pretending to prepare for my new teaching semester for a day or two and then heading to Dale's on Wednesday morning with at least 1, and probably 2, vintage Banner SJs in hand.

Stay, uh, tuned.

Looking forward to it JT

Don't get your hopes up! I'll be playing mediocre ditties on all guitars.
