I know Kev....I posted on another thread that recently, circumstances out of my control are conspiring to bring other finishes into my hands.

Only one FG, but WHAT a one!

Tony, love the contrasting differences between the three. Do you have a favorite?
I'm just happy to be here.

Where did you get a 345 OS/WB/V64 or whatever it is? Is that an original order from the 60's (I can't tell if those are toasters) or did you make that yourself out of something newer? It's cool looking, whatever it is.

My WB is my favourite ever gtr J, it's got everything...a fantastic FG, a great action & neck & the best sound I've ever had.

Jeff, it's a 1984 360WB, one of the last X braced ones, that I just added a third pick up & an accent to (& gold bits). It actually came with toasters, but most came with higains...I'm not a toaster fan on 6 strings, so I switched to higains. I have also modded the controls to give me a volume for all three pickups & a master volume. I never use tone controls & the master volume is a Godsend.

Just a little ribbing, Tony. Image
Actually, I'm finding that I'm starting to like finishes I had no taste for previously...entirely due to exposure in the forum. Broadened horizons, I guess. Image

Those three guitars all look fantastic, & since you're playing them out, I'm assuming they sound even better than they look.

Here's my band Small White rocking for the kids of St. Cloud, MN a few weeks ago.

Cool Red Ric!

I believe you may have caught an alien life form in your photo. Looks receptive to communication what with all the antennas.

Digging into my 660/12, obscured by my behemoth of a synth.
