Beautiful, Paul! Was the 'Cowboy' 700c the one I was leaving fingerprints all over at SoCal '07??

Nope. You were fingerprinting a 730L. The so-called "cowboy" 700C, with its custom-fitted Ameritage case, was one that I built for myself last Fall. The week before Christmas, it sold to a player/collector on Long Island, who told me he liked the sound and playability better than the Buscarino that he'd waited two years for.

I miss it and have not had time to complete a replacement yet...

To Paul A., that isn't a bass headstock, but one belonging to John's (right?) one-off Rick tenor guitar. I think I have that right. Yes, John?

Howdy,

Paul, that's Beautiful! Do you do Walnut/Montezuma Sunbursts? AKA "Tobacco Subursts"? I'd quite love to see some pics..

What kind of tobacco would you like? A Connecticut shade? A Honduran, or perhaps a nice Dominican Maduro?

Yep, I can do a tobacco burst.
