I hear that Richard is spending his retirement working on his design for a 12-string can opener.

I saw a female guitarist/vocalist on TV the other day playing a beautiful old Martin 12. Though the guitar was gorgeous, that headstock looked ridiculous, like somebody had grafted an oar to a guitar...the Rick 12 headstock is genius, nothing less.

My vote for the ugliest one?

The Fender Electric XII. Looks like a sock on a cucumber.

Sorry, Bill. At least you've got a REAL Evil Twin there!
