If Mozart were with us today, he'd play a Fireglo 4001C64! ~~~*~~~ Beethoven, on the other hand, would play a Matte Jetglo 4001C64S!

That Union Jack is without any doubt the best headstock I've ever seen.

Tell us about it. Who painted it. Do you still have it. Can you post a closeup of it.

Here's some head stocks looking the "OTHER" way. :lol:

I don't even find my 4008 to be very neck heavy.. I think the long upper body horn helps..

Robert's right - that Union Jack's interesting. Jaymi, is the body also "Jacked"?

Eden, I'm looking for more pictures of 4008 models to use in the book. Do you have any high-resolution shots of your -8? Looking for overall shots, closeup of features, formal portraits, etc.

Thanks!
