You should do a matching headstock more often Bobby, it looks fantastic!

The Grifters haven't been finished yet. I have a few customer orders that need to be wrapped up first and then I can focus on getting the rest put together.

Right now the work order looks like this:
1) finish a few customer orders
2) finish up the last few Provocateurs to hopefully sell and generate cash flow.
3) finish up Riddles (as two of them are customer orders and need to get wrapped up)
4) finish up Paramount basses. There are also a few people waiting patiently for these.

THEN I can finish up the Grifters and the Riddle basses.

A side note: The color on the orange Grifter, and more so the green one, ended up uneven. Working in someone else's shop I didn't have time to strip them and start over so when I can get them done I'll offer them here as cosmetic seconds. If any folks here want them then great! If not then I'll just leave them till the next round of lacquering and probably strip them and start over.
