Seriously, that is very cool!

VERY nice! I've been thinking about bound headstocks, haven't seen enough of 'em to really make up my mind, but I think I'm really starting to like 'em!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Wow! The CB binding really sets this one off especially on the headstock.

My Oh My. That is one Fine Looking Green Machine! Spectacular would be an understatement. I've always felt that there weren't enough green guitars in the world.

Notice the way Larry Davis has created a set of clear guards that are back painted in white to match the way the vintage TRC is backside finished. Excellent eye for detail he has, eh? :D
