Eddie: Let's see the headstock. :)
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

..that's going some if you've already had 4 shipped back to the US...Graham was supposedly still missing one that hadn't even made it to the UK yet :lol: .....you didn't "divert" one of his did you?? :twisted:

Great Idea, Eddie. Now I just have to figure out how to acquire the guitar in my avatar and swap out the slash for the f-hole.

Then I'll be ready for the blue guards! :lol:

If Graham's second one ever arrives, I'm sure he could work something out for ya Ron :wink: Mind you, I've got a sneaky feeling if it ever shows up he might just be planning to get his special headstock routing tool to work on it.... anyone for a homemade 1993 SPC??? :twisted:

Really loving the work you're doing, Eddie! How does it compare to your 1997 WB?

I've yet to play a 360/12C63 as they are pretty thin on the ground over here...so this was my first experience of the same neck and body combo that you'd get on one of those. Gotta say I love the tone and playability with the X braced body and C63 neck profile...certainly beats the Sam Ash guitar and also the V64 models I've owned. The spec of this guitar (guard plastic aside!) is just great.... :D

I shed a tear today - last one left the shop. Tucked up in a vintage case (customer upgrade). I waved goodbye as the courier took away my baby....oh this adoption business is really heartbreaking :(
