*sniff sniff* Thanks, Andrew. I have to say that it turned out rather well thanks to John Hall. I really wish that I'd kept the '68 4005 BG and '67 4005WB MG..........

Robert, thanks for coming in to say hi! Gotta say I am really impressed with your Tom Petersson model, I am a Hamer 12 string player (among other things) and would love to experience one of these. Any ideas on how a regular joe can get his hands on one?

I thought someone posted that they had seen the BG 4005 for sale in Japan recently at around $7-8,000.
