Can't wait to get started with our project. By the way, anybody out there have a Deacon 12 neck (natural finish), that they'd be willing to part with?

I couldn't get all of the tint out of the Mahogany so it was "stained" in a sunburst pattern using secret ingredients (Minwax stain, Red Oak and Ebony)to attempt to match the neck. Deft Lacquer with a burn through that wouldn't stain the same. Not perfect but lovely all the same. The six has a re-veneered peghead and a Pure Tung Oil neck. I really like the wood tones over sparkly ones. I found out tonight that a BW/Deacon six string case doesn't fit a 12 string!! Played the twelve at Band practice tonight too. Will post more until you have really had enough! Isn't it amazing what you can do with Formica??
