:up: Looks good so far. I always enjoy it when I see one being brought back from the dead. These are not like the cheap throw away guitars of today. Great work can't wait to see it completed. :up: :up:

all right more pics and I found a neckplate yehhh. So yep 189 binding scraping that was a first for me and I went at it. You gotta know when to say when I went a alttle overboard and had to do some touch ups. But all in all it's lookin real sweet. Not sure when I'll update as not sure when I'll get back to the shop. More pics sorry I was fighting with my camera. I'll get better pics in the future

Looking good Ultima, I like the color choice and how you did it. With the new paint, the binding is really bringing out the shape of the guitar. I like it.
