Paul, congrats on the Premeir Guitar article! Just looking through the new issue and they mention an interview with you and some pictures in the "Coming Next Month" section. I can't wait!

Switched to chrome Schallers on this latest one, due to geometry issues of the headstock. This 730S/12 has a very thin neck reinforced with composite, so it feels like a Rickenbacker electric 12 from the mid-'60s. The neck has been finished in a custom-mixed copper/glow color; FG headstock and top, shaded Indian rosewood sides and back. LRBaggs' newest dual element pickup, the Anthem, is installed. Look at the soundhole controls in the closeup. This is a dynamite pickup system with mike, piezo, and built in preamp, that I first heard demonstrated at NAMM this year, and it was impressive.

What a cool color that copper glow is!

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Lovely Sunsetglo, Paul!
The back reminds me of wild berry smoothie... so that is the smooth neck suited for licking

That headstock is interesting, with that shape + the spanish-style 12 string layout.

The 4005 just after the bindings were scraped, and just before the first coats of varnish were sprayed:

That's an AMAZING fireglo Paul. Absolutely amazing.
