    What is the headstock veneer again and is that a waterslide logo ? Logo looks great, would even be better with a Ponch logo on it !
    Hey Woks yes a 'Chips' logo would be classic! This axes logo was sourced from here:

    http://www.rothkoandfrost.com/custom...-a-side-style/

    I cut off the 'Custom' part. The decals are very thin and easy to cover over with finish (but not Tru Oil - I think it reacts with the transfer). The veneer is rosewood - it needed quite a bit of sanding to reduce the thickness of it. But, it covers all the botched work lol.

    Hey Deddy, with doing the gig for PBG you could always seek payment in goods but reckon you had that all figured out anyways.

    I also would like a 12 stringer but cannot justify the ever increasing collection to the Minister of War and Finance.

    Looks good for first thing in the morning, unlike what greets me in the mirror at that time of day.

    Was that tailpiece with the large central hole to accommodate an endpin jack?

    Seasons greetings! I used the hole for strap button but I suppose it could work for a jack

    I've bought an endpin jack to go on an ES-5V, but have yet to see a tailpiece which can accommodate one. That's the biggest hole on a tail piece that I've seen so far, so was curious if that was its purpose or if it would be big enough. Only one way to find out I guess...
