Kinda dropped off on this resto thread. Sorry! Guitar ended up great with a refret and bone nut by Holger Noetzel and Dan ended up doing the mildly green’d IBM refin inspired by an IBM XII with a tort guard that looked great. Ended up letting this one go to a friend and have started a new 1965 project.

Who did the refin? Dan? Danocaster?

I've seen this one floating around the insta verse recently. Incredible refin. The finished product turned out magnificent. The friend you moved this onto is one lucky dude.

Body doesn’t have additional routing but oddly enough has wood added that I have to remove!
I don't know why, but I find this fucking hilarious

Congrats on the guitar, looks like it came out absolutely fantastic
