They came unfinished, so I sanded them smooth, radiused the top outside edges, lightly stained them with red mahogany, and finished them in clear satin. http://tinyurl.com/hrwpz http://tinyurl.com/flyzw Came out pretty good, eh?   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 11:33 am:    Zenabi: They look great to me! Can you tell us your source for the cocobolo rings?   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 11:40 am:    Zenabi: I took the liberty of including your S1220 pictures in this post so everyone can see how great they look:   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 12:36 pm:    They look real nice. Where did you pick them up at?   Zenabi Username: Zenabi Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Saturday, September 23, 2006 - 4:50 am:    Hi Johns and Ibanezfreak - thanks for your comments (and your help w/the pix)! I got the rings from John Guilford at http://www.pickuprings.com - he's a good guy; very pro.   Mrblanche Username: Mrblanche Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Saturday, September 23, 2006 - 8:00 am:    Speaking as a former cabinetmaker and finisher... I have to say that wood (including the guitar itself) is gorgeous.
