Not sure Eden, didn't ask about that one. D'oh!

I believe it was a c64... (edit: no, no Forstner routing)

Amazing aren't they? I have seen countless photos of that guitar but when I saw what the inlays actually looked like I was gobsmacked.

One of my favorites! 8)

No mention of the run of MG 4003's that just left the factory with African Vermillion headstock wings? :twisted:

Better check which dealers recently received those... 8)
