With medical advances I doubt either of us will be dead in 100 years. We'll probably end up inside the memory banks of a robot guitar :twisted:

Tim, if this is the one for you ...wow ! We have a very sunny indian summer here in bavaria and just yesterday while looking at the beautiful coloured trees in the mountains I was thinking about something like "Indian Summer Glo" , this one comes near. Can't wait to see the whole revelation. :shock: :D Very curious about the rest of the hardware ...golden toaster tops ? Or stock HB1 's ? Mr. PW will have it done magically in any way...

Teaser? Torture... not enough pictures! :evil:

Don't tell me both are the same guitar, the one on the pictures and the 320?

Besides the usual stunning color and finish, and the great gold hardware, that inlay looks very interesting, particularly on the light fretboard! Very chic.

Also chic...a formerly-jetglo '82 320 that Kira brought to me almost 3 years ago. She did the prep and binding, I did the fretboard, refret, paint, detailing, buffing.

She put it together over the weekend and sent me these photos:

Kira tells me that she's the original owner, and bought this beauty at Guitar Center in SF back in '83 for...$600.00. I'm honored to have participated in giving it a new life!
