Number 2 looks the best to me,love the contrast beween the light and dark. When I did mine it was a nightmare deciding which way round to have it, so much so it gave me sleepless nights ....but, one things for sure, whichever you choose, its going to look stunning.

Caravan - Cunning stunts Camel - Breathless Greenslade - Bedside manners are extra

Caravan "The show of our lives"

Yeah sorry guys....itchy trigger finger on the tablet

Lee Pomeroy,yes that's the guy. felt sorry for Ella Henderson who was supporting, she's got a great voice but the sound was shocking,typical support act sound,all Boom Boom Boom. Anyone know who the drummer was ?

Well,got dragged kicking and screaming to see Take That yesterday by the missus,must admit I wasn't expecting much but OMG.....I f....g loved it. The band was brilliant especially the drummer,didn't catch has the bass players name,think it was Lee something ,left handed guy with a cool looking black Ricky. Wish I was going again tonight......

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1432547481' post='2782443'] I'd probably leave the neck as it is if it's all original, obviously the bodies worth has been decreased, but if you ever sell it, the neck would up the worth if its untouched. However if the neck has also been fiddled with previously, refinished etc, then why not! Si [/quote] Yeah I take your point Si,the neck is original and one of the best Fender jazz necks I've played and that's the main reason I've invested in the renovation work to be honest.

I'm thinking about having a matching headstock,I've got some buckeye left and Brian has the Fender decals so can get the logo and serial number back on, must admit I'm very very pleased with it and it sounds great

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1432371253' post='2780871'] Whaaa...? Blimey, I didn't expect that! [/quote] Haha.....I know,couldn't live with the slime green,had a few quotes for a restore to Antigua but in the end , sliced 10mm off the body and got Brian Eastwood to stick on the Rosewood veneer, and buckeyeburl top.....

Been playing for over 40 years,loved every minute of it,probably describe myself as competent
