Well the 12-string tailpiece could have as simple as grabbing one from the wrong bin at the plant...

From the pics she looks type 2 all the way, but Craig at one point was selling repros of the power supply at his store..I can't say I know the originality of the power supply. Never been around one to be honest... :)

It looks Crispy Fo Sho. Very nice Dave. I'll be up to pick up my present next week.. :wink:

Gee, that's quite a lot of guts you have there, Dave. I'm not sure what to say. ooooOOOOOooooooooh! :mrgreen:

That's one hell of a Xmas tree decoration. I love the photo with all of the lights in operation. Congratulations, mate.

Wow Dave. That's really gorgeous! That's the best picture I've seen of a 331LS lit up so far.

I think you mean "TEAR" apart ... in which case I think the LS is the worst bit of kitsch in the annals of electric guitar history totally eclipsing the Minarik Inferno and many other ignominious contenders .

Rickenbacker should've know better, but that's just me and my opinion of course.

You are correct, and I asked Gill to fix it.

I do butcher the English language from time to time. :oops:

So does that mean the vault is out of space and you need to sell the T100? :)

Congrats Dave! Very cool picture and very cool guitar!

Get one working with #53 12 volt bulbs, TIP 29 transistors, and a whole lot of crazy crud, and we'll talk ;)
Nice guitar Dave :)
