The fireglos were sprayed according to an original 1996 we have in the showroom and have amber tint in the clear coats to give them a true vintage look.

Paul, I'm feeling the same way..... but do we really know for sure what the '06 model(s) is/are going to be?

Full-sized guitar, shorter scale.

Just to be picky.

Everytime I get out one of my shorties, I have a gas of a time... It's like playing a toy with full-sized sound. Definitely warps your mind musically speaking.

Even though I am not too crazy about "F Holes", one of these will be on my list for sure. In MG.

I think 325/1996s look cooler with F holes than without, except perhaps when played by Lennon (of course, he had one with an F too.)
