WTD Bass Guitar- Final

The Finished WTD Bass- Trust me, I could've fixed this guitar in Photoshop faster and easier!
Well, here it is ( and me too) with the "What The Duck" Ibanez SR 490 Bass Guitar that I won from Aaron Johnson, Creator of the "WTD" Comic Strip.
The Bass is completely playable- ( Sorry 'bout that Aaron...) and sounds great!
I had a couple of people ask me why I would bid ( Won this on eBay) on a guitar with a broken neck in the first place; there were a couple of reasons:
1) I read "WTD" every day- it makes me laugh
2) It makes me laugh at others...
3) Aaron's going to go far ( He's been accepted into syndication) and I want to be sure to cash in on his name later!
Be sure to go take a look at http://www.whattheduck.net/ and enjoy the photography humor- you won't be dissapointed.
Thanks for the sweet bass Aaron!

What The Duck Bass Guitar Update

* Time for a patient update*
The Guitar is in recovery now- As you can see, the front of the headstock sustained the most splintering- but overall- I'm pleased with how it's turning out!
My next step is to let the stain cure 12 hours; then I'll buff it down, spray a clear coat over it, buff, and repeat till it looks like new- or at least as close as I can get!
( I used to do Guitar repairs for a music store called the "Pied Piper long ago- and this really brought back a lot of memories! Fun stuff...)
