Anything in plain but very touchy white coming off the line?

Yes, all of Maine is holding it's breath (well, at least Frank and I )

One white one coming up.

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!

Pics of this one in a few days.

I want pics too Paul. You know mine will be with vintage tuners.

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!

Lovely Sunsetglo, Paul!

The back reminds me of wild berry smoothie... so that is the smooth neck suited for licking

The only time you'll ever see those words together...

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

gotta love that fishtail ,i love it.

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.
