I think you're right, Mike! They look killer with plexi TRC's.

It now belongs to Mr. John Allgaier.

Both Cheyenne ii's belong to Mr. Dane Wilder, in, er, altered states.

Now a 5 stringer thanks to Mark Gilbert, who takes this to bed every night!

Nice!
You realize I'm a mapleglo nut.
That has some amazing figuring!
Mine is only slightly flamed.

Here are my two, both having gone through the "con. of Rath" (heh, heh) - Jeff Rath's vol/vol/tone conversion. I got the Fireglo Laredo on eBay. It is a 97 and is set up BEAD and has a swapped TRC. The Cheyenne is a '93 I got from Dave Westheimer. It is my second Rick. I've got a Blueburst Cheyenne II on order, but I don't think it will get here in time to be included in "4004 week."
