Thanks, Richard. The guitar pictured is the (in)famous "shaded blue 365 O.S." that was listed on ebay about 18 months ago and generated much comment on this forum. I think it ended up selling for many $$$ and, when I last checked, was owned by/on display at Rumbleseat Music.

Speaking of acoustics I just picked mine up from the shop to get new strings put on :) I've never seen a bunch of folks drool as much in my life!

Brian, this file is a good overview. The only one not in it is Jerry Juden's and perhaps he can take some good pics and post 'em...

I posted some (some fuzzy, dang camera) on my myspace site, which is listed below.

Also, on youtube, under shamustwins or rick acoustic, I posted some very sloppy playing of it.

It is a phenomenal guitar. Everything about it blows me away, from fit and finish, to feel, to playability to tone.

It's one of a kind and mine all mine. Wow!

Kira, what else did you see in the operating room?

Another fantastic job! I only noticed the other day that the gray on the upper horn matches Paul's SP outfit 8)

Oh, a scratch-built lightshow in beginning stages, some acoustics. There's not a lot of things lying out as PW is a bit too tidy. :( Maybe I've already said too much :oops: he may be keeping secrets :shock:

Paul is also working on a very cool project for my son. Sorry, but it is a non-Rickenbacker.
