Amazing care taken and you will love this guitar like your own soul. Oly white / tort is a winner in my book too.

Re: '61 JM repair/refin - now oly. white - polished - pics tonight ...
It's been a long time in the works, but I got back my oly white '61 from the Guitar Mill yesterday evening. I sent it to them to buff and polish out the body and redo the headstock fixing/filling the termite channels (back of headstock) and just painting/restoring it better that I could have ever done. They applied the decal too.
I am very pleased. Now I am just waiting on another neck shim and some strings before I can bolt on the neck and play.
It is a sweet minty color (reranch oly white + clear) and I am in .
I'll post pics tonight. Stay tuned

Really awesome! Great job!
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Wow, that thing looks great. I wish I could touch it!
Before bringing up drugs with your kids, hook your turntables up to a wah-wah pedal.

That looks really good.
I'm glad you left the worn amber finish on the back of the neck.
