Really? There are 2000 of these? Then judging by the number of CS basses for sale on Ebay at any given time, there should be 4 of these on Ebay currently.

Jeff - This refers to the JL 325's. What someone did was buy one of these and paint it. Wall art or a player?

Some very cool artwork on that one. The attention to detail is impressive especially on the fret markers.

This guys website is very interesting. Some extremely nice pieces of work. http://www.carverdoug.com/guitars.html

Like this carved out 220?
