PSSST...the password's rolls669, in honor of my sadly-gone Diplomat Blue '69 Silver Shadow...

Enjoy!

What? Our "Mink" didn't make the cut?

Hey Paul, you should do a step-by-step series one of these days when you build an acoustic, kind of like the one Dale did last year (or was it the year before?). Probably somewhat of a pain in the butt when you're trying to actually get some work done, but it would be great reading for the rest of us.

Todd, of course I've had this idea. So, the next acoustic I build will be photographed in process.

My favorite pic from your archives. I expected a Bigsby, not a Bixby! Image

Ah, gotcha. Sorry, didn't look past the first set. Paul W., I should send you a shot from the 75th of the finished Mink to add to the grouping. Hi-Res; can your e-mail handle it? Also a shot of you with the Mink and the Burg LH bookends. Lemmeno!

Just send it to me, and it will go into Paul's new website, along with all the other pics in the FotoF%#&it Image

If you send it at more than 620 Mb/s, you might hit our bandwidth ceiling...

Any single email is good up to I think 500 MB

Paul, send it to me as well at my PROFILE e-mail...I can handle up to 50MB in one shot my mailbox.

Paul W, I presume that you're going take some more shots of the 730S LH before shipping it!

I did take a quick peek under atrocities to make sure my acoustic wasn't there Image

Otherwise some interesting and entertaining shots. I enjoyed the lasercut trc shots. The branding area, for lack of a better term...

Richard, there are more waiting to be uploaded. I try to get lots of big 'uns with my new camera, in anticipation of future calendars and posters.
