Next step, Ebay.

Not the actual guitar, but a hyper-realistic representation, complete in every detail !!!

Argh. I thought it was real. I'm really disappointed. I thought it was a transformation executed by one of the master luthiers from here on the forum. Oh well. At least if someone wants their 330 xformed into a blueburst 370 WB with FWI with a bound headstock they'll know what it's going to look like, as well as have a "actual picture" to show the luthier...

I've been very fortunate on this one.... Ron's kept me in the loop since day one with pics and descriptions and I have shared the pain and nervous tippy-toe times. It's pretty scary stuff having a guitar completely transformed let alone having it done on the other side of the globe. After all, you can't exactly pop around and discuss colours and other details! I went through it when Paul did my Gretsch and I can tell you it's real nail biting stuff!!

I particularly like the burst, bound headstock and first fret inlay..... something very personal and totally outside the square. My heartiest congratulations, Ron. Let's hope our planned get together next weekend eventuates and I can have a first hand gander at this lovely!!
