Paul, 'roundtops' does indeed refer to new style 360s.

That would be neat, Marc. Walnut bodies available across the whole product line. I wonder if they would be laquered or oiled? Given that the 650D and 650S never come in "colour of the year" anyway, you wouldn't actually have a lot of duplication. A walnut 330 would be very interesting, as would a walnut 660. They'd need gold guards, for sure. And what would the necks be made of? Walnut isn't suitable for a neck, is it?

They eagerly await your request, too, Marc...

How about a Lemmy? I'm sure a certain dealer in Sin City will hook you up with one in exchange for your first born...
