Pornographic!

ETA: Is that spalting, I mean, are those spalts, rather, is that a spalted maple top?

Has spaltification occurred? How does one spaltify a piece of wood?

Was just asking myself both of these questions.

Did those early Sunbursts really have a 10" radius fretboard?

There are guitars that just don't sound very good.  There are guitars that don't play very good, no matter who sets them up.  I bought a great one from Ernie Santella.  Had it re-fretted.  It's so good.  

There must be a reason the guitar in question has been for sale so many times.

                           I believe at least 3........................... I remember it well as I called Dave about it and almost bought it.

3 times in the past year or 3 times over the past 20 years?  Just curious as The HFC has been around a while.

                                                                   I would say in the last 4 years at Dave's,.................... I have seen it there in person twice.

 Something just has to be the one that has been for sale the most times?

Good job!  To all the naysayers, don't be afraid to ask a woman on a date just because she's been around the block a few times.

[Joe mama]
