I thought I was seeing that as well.

These are perfection! Unreal!!!

Awesome score. The bridge is likely not original. It probably came with a Gotoh / Wilkinson wraparound bridge.

I never get tired of seeing the blended heel.

I can't wait to order more of these!

I've used 11s for over 20 years. I don't really know if they sound different but the way you attack the strings causes it to sound different.

I've had one like that since 1989. LOVE IT!

Maybe he has the Shishkov bug now.

Whoever buys it, must give Steve (or Chris) first shot at buying it back if they ever need to sell.

The 4D style headstock is supposed to look LONG! Sorry, I should have used the word "narrow" rather than small - I like how narrow they look without the binding. Yes, and long, too. ETA: am I understanding the headstock binding choice (or lack thereof) correctly? Yes, you are understanding correctly. They made a good amount with binding, but most did not have it. I myself don't even know which I like more. On the short version, it looks stubbier with binding. On the longer versions, I think it looks great with or without.

As did I. And I. Yes, sir. Help a slow-witted brother out - does this mean you all went with bound/crowned with no headstock binding? Now that I'm at home and viewing The BookTM, I'm thinking I'm going to drop the headstock binding. The only 4-D's I see with a bound headstock are #0055 (with the L-5 fretboard and rectangular position markers, p.37 if anyone's interested) and #0020 (white with black binding, p.38). I'm really liking how small the headstocks look without the binding, especially #0017 (cover, pp.42-43, et alibi) and #0055 (Jaws, p.47). The 4D style headstock is supposed to look LONG!

As did I. And I. Yes, sir. Oh, and all of these pics are making me re-think my color choice... Thanks, jerks.... I received an e-mail from Mike who was very kind to put me into the second run. I ordered an Ultimate with tobaccoburst and the only option I asked for was an electrosocket input jack, but after looking at all of the pics I may go for the upcharge for crown inlays and switch to the bubsburst. The hard part with custom orders is getting your options right on the first submission.

As did I. And I.

Fill out a quote form for exactly what you want. I'm sure the price will be fair. I just filled out the form for another quote.

I sent a check, very easy.
