Nice shots man! We should arrange a playdate for our 44-year-old friends (my 330 is a January baby).

I strongly suggest you two send both instruments for a complete matching and evaluation to me asap, We can't have these two guitars meeting up without some confirmation they will be compatible.

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Great idea, Jeff. I put mine in the mail today in an official looking envelope marked "Payroll." Should get to you no problem.

Earlier today Peter made a remark about the bass that "came in through the bathroom window" which inspired me to actually take some photos in the bathroom of my Harley bass. It's not a '68 obviously, but the chrome-everything added some interesting reflections.

Now, that is a very cool concept - Rick pop art! :D

T-shirts, anyone?

Love the lacquer cracking Mark, so much more refined Mojo than a worn through paint.

Nice use of diagonals in the neck photo! Putting the slanted side of the inlays perpendicular/parallel to the flooring is a nice visual. 8)

Thanks, Jeff!

And I agree, Sean... age checking or darkening of the finish on any guitar looks better than most "retro finished" guitars.

Yes, it's got to happen naturally.
