There should be more entries for round 10, so here is something Mrs and I put together from the scraps the Indy wrecking crew left for us in the vault.

The showcase is the neck. Better look than I imaged while in the vault. Just look at those lines.

what the neck looked like when I found it hidden away on the top shelf. When I saw it, I did beg the Paul's to let me have it.

Wait - you were the guy at Experience that year who kept moving that neck wood from one area of the factory to another? I remember security questioning you, but at the time, I thought you were just a tad off. Probably because I didn't hear the whole conversation, only a repeated "The hoosiers wanna grab my wood!"

What a “sap”.

We did go to the vault before Experience, and made a point of ensuring our wood didn't get renumbered during Experience. Lucky for us, Paul Miles had our back - must of found one of us endearing.

Okay, so these are twins, brother & sister or whatever. I got both of them from the same dealer at (basically) the same time (Virtually hours apart. Look at the snow in the backgrounds.)
They are both 35th Anniversary Custom 24-08's I like blue guitars, but I also like green guitars. So I got both of them.

back is nice and simple, but the neck doesn't stop

a look at the sap wood, how could you not love it

the sap blends nicely with the binding

The top isn't to everybody's taste. Enough so that somebody poached this photo to use in a Facebook 'how hideous is this' thread.

But really, the owner's opinion is all that matters. I think this face tells the truth.

This is the last guitar Mrs and I deliberately went to build. We wanted everything originating in the Americas.
We call it Juju.

WINNER!

It would have been a tie but @dkilpatrick posted after the deadline.
 
ROUND 11: Who's got the oldest Silver Sky (core) by serial number?

Deadline to post a photo is Saturday the 8th at 10PM (CEST).

Hmm. Maybe. The letter Paul wrote me explaining the guitar did say the HE custom carved the neck, so he definitely participated in the making of it - judgement call.

For those who don’t recognize it by the neck, the top coloured with powdered dye.

Oh all right, you’ve all seen this by now

If that isn't an heirloom guitar, I don't know what is.

Fantastic!!
