That's a left handed TRC. You can see where the end hole has been pegged from the original RH application. The TRC almost looks like it has been laser engraved then painted like the anni models, the logo seems to have some depth to it. Paul also often bevels and polishes the top and bottom edges on his TRC's. It really gives them added depth and also makes it easier to get them off of 12 strings.

Congratulations Peter. Another 11 out of 10 for the Curmudge.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Currently the Euro has an all time high exchange rate (1.80 $!!!) :D , so the shipment would probably be around 100 Euros!? :roll:

I haven't gotten billed yet, but should be about US$160-180.00.
