    This is lovely. Really dig the head stock and the off white binding on the turquoise.

    WOW! This has blown my mind. This is a really top notch build, you should be very proud of yourself.
    I absolutely love the Surfcaster, it's my all time fav.

    I have ambitions of doing a similar build (and have very slowly gotten a few bits together) but have recently moved house and had to put it on the back-burner. I think I will be digging up my parts asap and get my arse into gear. Top job!

    Sensational replica JB.

    How did you cut the high end of the neck or did it come that way? Shark fin inlays too or were they a sticker set?

    Awesome attention to detail.
