New Year's Resolution

So.
After having "inadvertently inspired" some dealer's imagination with one of the previous posts I have decided to kick off 2006 in STYLE.

• Orca w/ fatback korina body
• Solid "vintage" rosewood neck and fretboard, one 12th fret inlay
• Extraordinary tubular quilt top (pictured above)
• Finish... either a) Dark Chocolate Burst or b) Dark Fire Burst, scraped binding
• Pickups: Häussel, wound to spec with a definite rock bias :-)
• Wood p.up frames (ebony)
• 'Lectronics: one Vol, one Tone, 5 way superswitch (taa-daa!)
• Special headstock inlay (hehe)
• Special ebony tulip buttons
• Hardware: leaning towards gold.

So much for outright Bling'n'Sing. Remember - you've read it HERE first. Oh yes... this baby is for ME and will not be for sale.

On the other hand... as a long time Jimmy Page fanatic I can't resist the temptation of a "JP" Orca. Specs?

• Fatback mahogany body and mahogany neck. Both in currrrly mahogany (oh yes!!)
• Easter curly maple top with large yet subdued flames
• Maple fretboard binding
• BRW fretboard with "classic" inlays (I know I'll have to cry, pray, beg, and kneel for this)
• "Sunken-in" (i.e. extra thin) finish in historically-correct faded burst ;-)
• Häussel pups: open coil VIN+ bridge (black), nickel plated neck Classic PAF
• JP 'lectronics (push-pull pots for phase, series, parallel)
• Kluson tuners, nickel hardware

I'll reserve some beautiful tops for like-minded JP / LP fans... please enquire within.

Have a great Christmas, dudes and dudettes - may all your six string dreams come true (sooner or later)!!
