Fender '63 Vibroverb RI and a VHT Special 6 Ultra combo. Now that's range.

it appears so. those are quilts with the matching head stock and fret board binding. thank you! i just put in an order. says May 1st, which is fine.

yeah i think so too.

I really want a Custom 22 Semi-Hollow in Trampas Green. Is that possible? I just wondered if they'd do that for an internet brand ambassador. ;) i'm not above begging.

i'm looking forward to trying one someday. like any of us haven't taken a stab at modifying a ST. seeing the results that PRS and JM came up with is probably one of the best thought out iterations ever made. can't see anything about that being bad. i dig the headstock and cutaway.

great choice!

i wouldn't blame him. RIP make it rain john.

I put my vela up for sale on the chicago craigslist as I'm thinning the herd for a house down payment. i'll grab a regular vela after i get the house this summer since it's such a great guitar. congrats to the new owners up above!

I feel for you guys! My Vela makes me want a solid version as because you know, backups etc... Well worth the wait! Every minute.

Chicago Fret Works if you are near Wrigley-ville ish area. Great guys and excellent work.

still loving mine! such cool instruments.

there was an ugly one? part of the draw to these guitars for me was their subtle overall appearance. i think the natural tops look great and we've seen a wide variety of figuring, streaks and grain, plus the mojo factor that only legit nail holes can produce. it will be worth the wait, for sure.

] here's a good image of the pink streaks in the top under soft sunlight. right by where the snake took a bite apparently. i feel for the guys that are waiting on their orders from SW and whatnot. i'm a last minute louie that sniped one of the few that were shipping to smaller shops...

what a freaking score. and holy crap you guys weren't kidding! this thing is ridiculous, exactly what I was hoping for an so much more. i lucked out and the top on this one is perfect, i think. the back is what's so nuts though, great figure to the mahogany. neck plays so nice, i really...
