Beautiful...

Murali, see that?

Aluminium TRC? Looks like a new one to me, where's that from?

It's on a C58 from what I can tell, is that correct?

Look close:
- rounded aluminum edge reflects light (plastic: flat edge)
- logo screened on top of the aluminum (plastic: logo underneath)
- strings reflect in the aluminum (plastic won't reflect)

From '57. Gold screws are a nice touch...

So very nice to reflect on these photos John. Thanks for sharing them.

Very nice Gary. I especially like the 340 headstock.

yeah, I finally got a moment to take a look at John's headstock. Ver-Nice. My new one gotta have the circled R and "made in USA" per JH but if it looks like this one, it'll be way cool. Image

Somehow the photos don't do it justice; I think it is one of the most beautiful Ric headstocks there is.

That's lovely, Melissa. Just keep rubbing in the fact that you have an acoustic, won't you??? Image
