By '82 has a short one with sealed wavy Grovers. 
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.jaymi wrote:so you want to see headstocks???
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.

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"?Ric N. Backer wrote:That Union Jack is without any doubt the best headstock I've ever seen.

Re: Headstocks
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!
Thanks!
