Mike I wanted to tell you that during my trip I did manage to see this guitar in its flesh and hold it up in the sunshine briefly. There is great silking on the creamy white Engelmann and the BRW is just like double dark chocolate. It oozes character. You can just tell by looking at it that this is gonna turn out to be a very special instrument.

The neck getting some lacquer
Three coats of lacquer to be followed with wet sanding and three more coats of lacquer. Under all the lacquer there is epoxy filler and a thin layer of shellac for adhesion to the lacquer.
The body is still at Tony’s shop

Go Tony, Go
I expect we will be seeing spectacular shots from Tony's famous "White Room" any day now.
The excitement builds.... whee Paul

Waiting...
"Thanks for your customary enthusiasm Paul. The guitar is still with Tony, and I hope to see some pics of the guitar soon. Waiting has never been easy for me..." I understand! Me either... and, John's instruments and Tony's killer super thin super hard, and super LOUD finish are well worth waiting for. My new PABLO is the best guitar I have ever played! No kidding, John's stuff just keeps getting better and better. So, I have put in an order for JK Custom number SIX. Apparently there a couple folks ahead of me, and I believe you are one of em. So I will be waiting again myself... hahahaha Hope ALL is well for you and your family and friends. Better times ahead, just around the corner. Salud Paul

A little taste of the finished instrument sans neck
Back from Tony
I’m very pleased with how it turned out. This is how I envisioned it but there was some anxiety. It’s hard to take a casual of picture of a shiny black guitar. You can see more of my shop than the guitar
