You may remember these guitars from such fine posts as

I've Got Wood!
I've Got Wood! Pt. 2, They Merge (KxK Sii-7 Progress)
I've Got Wood! Pt. 3, A New Board In Town (KxK Sii-7 Progress)

This is where they are today

First up is Whitey... Whitey would have already come home to dinner, but KxK's paint supplier went out of business unexpectedly at the beginning of December and they're still working on finding a satisfactory replacement. Things are looking good, so hopefully Whitey will come home soon.
