Didn't Epi make a bunch of these with cheapo silk-screened graphics on them?

I think they were released under Gibson's name. I think they released the three I posted above as a limited edition. I'll bet they charged a pretty penny for them.

So, does that mean you will be attempting that design? I think it does suggest that. Right on Paul!

I think not, seeing as those were Gibsons and I build Ricks, and the design has been done, is out-of date as a new design, and there's no demand for it anyway.

Anybody who wants one can get out their acrylics and brushes and go to it, as The Fool once did.

BTW: I get that you build Ricks. That wasn't lost on me. As for designs outdated, I guess that's in the eye of the beholder. I love some of that old crazy hippie stuff. So maybe their is demand somewhere in the Santa Cruz mountains or even in the Haight!

Not putting it down, Brian; just saying that it should be a Gibson or Epi. I'm an old hippie myself, hairless edition...

I'm tracking with you Paul. No worries.
