Wow haven't checked this post in a long while! I haven't finished my Hondo yet, I have the finish stripped off the back/sides/neck but not the top. I got way overambitious with mine-Hey, the binding's all cracked and missing in some spots, so let's re-bind it! OOps, nobody sells wbwbwbw binding like this... Hey, the headstock overlay peeled off, so let's redo that, too! Oops, the "gibson" flowerpot ones aren't the same size and the tuner holes don't line up... Hey, the top is 1mm veneer (in 5 non-matching pieces...) and my buddy has a vacuum bag setup to make CF parts in, let's get some nice veneer to re-do the top! Oops, he moved away and I don't know anyone else with veneering equipment... Duh. I'm sure I'll get it finished someday, especially since I have everything I need to finish it, just no time to do it in. I should have just gotten it playing and left it at that.
