oooh that is nice!!! What a wonderful blast of RIC porn to start the day with!

Beautiful example. Who wouldn't be proud to own that.....

Congratulations. That's one of the best RM 1993s that I ever seen. A beautiful instrument.

If you happen to have a chance, can you post a pic straight on of the end-plate strap button? I'd love to see the trapeze strap button and screw positions.

Best regards.....................

It's the only 12 hole trapeze I've seen, so I'd guess it started life as a 6 slot tailpiece and was modified at some point.

Thanks! I have these photos, if they help?

Thanks Bruno.

Any chance you have a photo looking straight onto the strap button & tailpiece anchor? I think Greg (and certainly myself) are curious about the screw positions.

Yes +1

Collin/Greg...

I don't have ashot from that angle, sadly. But I'll try to get that photo when i see him again, next week...

Any other specific pics requested? I'll do my best to get them.

But I stop short of unscrewing anything from the guitar!!

Bruno, no need to take anything apart. I was just hoping to see the straight on pic of the end for reference. If you have a chance to get that angle, it would be great.

Best regards,

Stunning guitar Bruno,thanks for sharing!

It could be a Winfield Vintage 12 hole, installed for convenience. . .

I finally took it!

Apologies for the delay in providing this photo and for the quality! I completely forgot. Hope this shows what you wanted to see - albeit in an out of focus way? If not - I'l try to take better photo - this time using my camera... not the useless one on my phone.

Now that I've seen the photos, I can tell what all the hoopla was about! You've scored a rare beauty, Bruno. Wish I could afford one like it!
