At the party at RIO!!!

Yes, that'd be it.

Very nice! :) What type of tremolo does it have? I am curious if it has the harmonic vibrato type like my old Concert Amp had (1962); it had six tubes just for that circuit!

"Interesting that you are doing Panormo copies; seems that most do copies of Martins, especially OM/000s and dread-nots®."

I have a big interest in history and how current design ideas evolve. Panormo (in my mind) was the originator of the concepts we take for granted in guitars. He ...
