VERY nice! I've been thinking about bound headstocks, haven't seen enough of 'em to really make up my mind, but I think I'm really starting to like 'em!

My Oh My. That is one Fine Looking Green Machine! Spectacular would be an understatement. I've always felt that there weren't enough green guitars in the world.

Notice the way Larry Davis has created a set of clear guards that are back painted in white to match the way the vintage TRC is backside finished. Excellent eye for detail he has, eh?
