Now the hard part... waiting... Friday I shipped out the neck to get the "Mosrite" and "The Ventures Model" logos screen printed on the headstock.  It was a little difficult to let it go out of my site, but I have full faith that it's in good hands. PLUS, I insured it :).  A big thank you to my buddy Brandon who helped me do the wiring and shielding on the pick guard.  I could've done it myself, but he did a much nicer, cleaner job than I would have I'm sure (and i'm meticulous). For the tech minded out there, We wired it with switchcraft switch and output jack and a CTS pot on the tone and the new Seymour Duncan high speed, linear-audio taper volume pot, a 600V .047 Orange Drop capacitor, and vintage cloth "pushback" wires.  Anyway, I gotta wait for the neck to return then clear coat it with 7 or 8 more coats then wait ANOTHER week to let it cure before wet-sanding and buffing.  Good news is that's the light at the end of the tunnel. If all goes well, I'll be playing her in just a couple of weeks!
