The owner of the Aquaglo Capri wishes to remain anonymous. I'll be bringing it to some confluences in the future so folks can see it in the wood.

Jim, the brown burst Capri is mine...I redid it back in '06. It's got birdseye maple veneer front and back, special binding on body, neck and headstock, and lots of other touches.

I am dreaming of that color burst on a 12 string 360 with toasters, gold guards & TRC and v63 style knobs.

Paul: Real corkers both of them.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

JimK,

Paul did a similar burst on a customized 360/12V64 for me about two years ago. The project included three Toasters, checked binding, R Tailpiece, gold plastic, and black knobs.

You can see some pics on page 19 of this thread:
