Here is that 700S/6 in Teaburst, along with some siblings...sort of a "butcher cover"

Oh Wow!

Beautiful!

Very purdy!

But, it looks like some sort of accident scene with all those bodies and parts scattered around...


Love those "Dagwood" headstocks on the ones against the wall...

Thanx a lot, Paul! You saved them!

Teaburst........very nice!

Can't wait to see the fishtail 12 string when it's finished........interesting.

Real nice but ..... Guinnessglo for me, matey!!

Or perhaps Otterglo..........

Mmmm, Fishtail headstocks....6 and 12 string....

How many different names do we have for these headstocks? Jwilli and I have been calling them "fishtails", I've heard "steerhorn", "batwing", "seagull", and most recently humor was injected: "Dagwood"!

Anybody else want to try?

"Notice the laminated sandwich construction of the Dagwood headstock..."

The Splittail, or Sacramento splittail, Pogonichthys macrolepidotus, is a cyprinid fish native to the low-elevation waters of the Central Valley in California

Dagwood's got it covered. Fourth down from the top.

I always like a good crustacean on my sandwich... Gives 'em a little "crunch."

My vote is for Dagwood to be the official name, BTW!

But that's just tootin' my own horn:
