Roscoe Special Order For CliffD

Sorry buddy, it's already found a new home! ;)

One'll eventually wander down my way, In due time brother;).

No, not at all! I was just countering your post last time. We straight LR! :bassist:

Cool Adam.:hyper:

Can't wait to see pics of V 1.1, Cliff. Gard doesn't mince words. If he says he can meet or beat the top on V 1, I'd bet on the latter.

After all he predicted the Saints would be in the Super Bowl before preseason.;)

:D

God Bless, Ray

Ray, I didn't predict they'd be IN the SB, I predicted they'd WIN the SB.

See above.

:smug:

;)

Hey man, This time I can be the one to say "I told you so" to Cliff.

I said you could beat the top on V1 and you pulled that off too.:)

Lets just say you have a way with wood:smug:, and I now dub the "Sir Imperial Peckerwood".:smug:

:D

It's all good:D As long as I'm in there somewhere.

God Bless, Ray
 
OK Man, I'll throw the bantar aside and ask a serious question;

You guys at Roscoe seem to have a "plethora"(think Three Amigos:D) of exibition grade lumber for tops. Has there ever been an instance of a "homely" top? And how long do you guys normally keep the lumber in stock(turnover wise)?

It's OT but at least I'm not calling you Sir Imperial Peckerwood again.

:hiding:

:p

God Bless, Ray
 
Somebody is owed a back of headstock veneer!! I trust that is one of the next steps in the process...

...actually, the back veneer has to be done as almost the LAST step of shaping, right before the tuner holes are drilled and the neck is taken into the spray booth. It isn't a perfectly flat glue joint, it's curved, and the curve has to be complete before the matching veneer is glued on:
