Here's a little teaser...
Is that a 381 with two soundholes?

Great work on the headstock replacement, Paul!

Hi Paul,
Wow! That looks even better, if that's possible. Glad you were able to make the additional highlights on the 380/12.
Now, what is that axe with the double soundholes. And what color? Very mysterious, although I'd agree with Ivan that it looks a lot like a 381.

Hard to tell in B/W but it looks like a pearlescent transparent finish. Can't wait to see that!

Brian,
NICE! In the last foto, it looks as though I can dive into the finish. It looks like the finish has limitless depth, like the black abyss!! Soon I'll have all my Rick's within arms length!!

Werner, it wouldn't be the first time I photoshopped some strings. The cover on my calendar has that honor...

Hmmmm. I thought the high E and B string pairs looked just a little different in size. Nice work.jingle_jangle wrote:It wouldn't be the first time. The cover on my calendar has that honor...

Yes, they are different in size...the high E is 2 pixels wide; the high B is 3.
