BUMP

Stupid prices IMHO.

ME, you forgot ME!!!! Just sent you an email.

I got nothing.

Paper Rock Sissors?

SOAB I've got to get one of those. Can I use your account? I'll be trolling as well since I have not used up my guitar fund yet.

It didn't sell the first time around and I doubt it sells this time.

My prayers to bill. That is going to be a tuff recovery.

Dumb Ass.

Stunning.

Needs a Triple Coil in that one.

Found it!

I'm laughing because I just realized that I hack so many of these names up.

They are cool as hell, you gotta love um.

I lust for one to pop up at the right time. They never do.

Your Welcome, I just could not get a picture of it that came across how good looking that top is. Be sure to stretch those strings out. I have a very very important rule after I mark a guitar sold. I never, ever, ever play it again.

I'm glad that it will be in good company.

SOLD PENDING PAYMENT.

Sorry I forget to mention. Installed on it now is a Tone Pro's Tailpiece and the Original Bridge. Included is a Tone Pro's Bridge with String Saver Saddles and the OEM Tailpiece in the Case.

Carving is definitely part of the issue too I think. It's alot easier to get a great-looking top if you don't have to carve it. - Austin And this is a great looking top.

I've said it before (albeit, not here) and I'll say it again...Achieving one's "dream" can be very disappointing. Also settling for less than exaclty what you want can be disappointing as well. Then I would argue that the dream has not yet been realized. Correct. Koa of this grade thick enough to make a Studio or Special just isn't out there anymore. There are few Mirage's out there that can rival the top on this guitar. So if anyone wants one of the best looking Specials on the Planet this is the one. I would have put a Sustainblock on it and a Vintage Carved Neck with 30th Ann Inlay's with a MOP Hamer Logo.

I still don't think I captured the depth and color of the top. Very 3D in person and a nice rich color.

Ya, MJ that still works at Duncan in the Custom Shop. These are correct to the guitar. As for the routes that what I thought when I found them. The guitar is so freaking clean someone had to ass it up a touch. But the routes are clean and not a serious hack job.
