The top has been joined, the rough neck laminations have been joined, and the neck and headstock roughed out - and just recently, the top was joined to the body!

BTW, this guitar has our 'new and improved' pearl bird inlays... which are much fancier than the 'plain' pearl birds that you see on 99% of bird-equipped guitars... each of these birds has been "Scrimshaw-engraved" with fine detail!

Shamray's plans were scuttled last week :sweat: - and now the guitar cannot be shipped until after the long weekend (Its "constitution day" here in Russia...) It's now due to ship out December 15th!

a last look before packing (trem arm in place for display only - it will be removed from the guitar and wrapped up in the case for shipping...)
