At any rate, thanks for the comments on the color. At times during the process I had my doubts, but it really pulled together once I got it put back together. I dig it, and it is unique among the guitars I own.
Since a bandmate talked me into selling him my other Cardinal, I've realised how much I miss playing this guitar, so I can't wait to get it all together. It's due for a good fret dress, so is going into the shop next week.
For the record, I had forgotten about Crusty's Cheescake guitar, but I

I used the re-Ranch vintage cream, if anyone is interested.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Cheers,
