I'm the only one with the authority to sign off on any changes, no matter how small. That doesn't mean I have all the ideas, just that they have to go through me first for approval. However, most of the recent ones, including the head-through on the 12 stringer were done at my suggestion as convenient moments arose to make such changes as some retooling was done.

The TP model also has a wider neck and not just a wider nut though right?

Here here!!! I had always thought that Rick 12s
were cut through completely; the first Rick 12 I ever examined up close enough to see that this was not actually the case was my own 381/12...upon opening the case for the first time

You would probably like a 380L.

Judging from this auction it appears that owners of guitars make design changes.

The link ain't wqorkin', Bri, but I assume it's the lefty MID 4003 that got chain-sawed by an ex-wife's shark.

I think that the new inlays, new hi-gains and re-sized headstock have really transformed these guitars. (Well, duh!) For the better! ok, now..how about making 21 fret neck standard?

Either that or making hi gain pickups with toaster covers standard, just because toasters look cooler!
