It's a modified 8-bar... so yeah, I guess its 3 chords formally, though you'd never know it from the bass line. 4:25 long, total of 8 notes used, all first position.

You'd never know it from the lead either, as I think there's maybe 3 notes on the fretboard Moore DIDNT use...

Fun to play and was good endurance training for beginner-me. Still great practice for lock-in.


OK, interesting. I see "Oh, Pretty Woman", I think Roy Orbison. LOTTA chords-and a fun bass line (in our group I doubled the gee-tar riff at the beginning and at the end of each verse).
 
Since you have invested this much time and thought to details, (A) wouldn't be an option in my book.

I think I would be torn between B and C. Seeing it in person may make that decision more clear.

As I recall you have a lot of coats of lacquer so that can give you more leeway in going down a little more. But it's also thin, so there's that. I don't recall the grit levels you worked through, but that seems to look more like a job for some higher grit sandpaper, which really won't take that long. But it really depends on how you want it to look. Professional/nearly perfect or something slightly less and still being far away from the amateur job. If it's going t bug you when you see it (and with your attention to detail I suspect it will), I would work on it a bit more.

For the '66 NR I was not shooting for museum quality nor something that looked like some dude tried his hand at something. Same is true for the Fender 50s Vibe Pbass I'm working on. I could go more show room--but I have a wife, a job that's time consuming and and stressful (and trying to merge churches) as well as pres of the board for low income senior housing apt complex (that just finished a $4.5 million renovation and we've been chasing problems from that which are running us another $300k so far), so I don't want another thing to stress out over and I want a life. Much of what I do is solve problems and I'm not interested in adding more if it can be avoided. Years ago I likely would have OCDed/fixated on imperfections, but I have tried to turn that off when not absolutely needed (which is most of the time). If I were retired I may shoot for more perfection. Right now I want to get things finished, they look great, and can be played now before.... You know!
Before you give them all to me?
 
Felt nothing here.
PADUCAH, Ky. — A magnitude 2.5 earthquake rattled western McCracken County on Wednesday night.

The United States Geological Survey recorded the tremor at around 11:35 p.m. (CDT) Wednesday, almost 10 miles west of Paducah. The USGS map pinpoints the epicenter along the property line of Barkley Regional Airport in West Paducah.

The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of eight miles. As of noon on Thursday, 40 people had reported that they felt the quake in the local area in Wickliffe, LaCenter, Metropolis, Paducah and Ledbetter, but also in places like Newburgh and Paoli in Indiana.

You can see more data at the University of Memphis/USGS website.

The New Madrid Seismic Zone it near this area. That's the one people around here worry about. Supposedly it's due to seriously let go any time. Not that it's expected, it's just due to let go.
2.5? That’s like getting an ultrasound. Oh, did you actually do something?
 
So far I’ve been giving water and/or Gatorade to golfers. And talked to 2 people about products.

I had a good day at the home office yesterday - 30K in lighting sales, makes a happy Queen.
