Wow! Somebody buy this!

I normally don't go crazy for crackle finish but this one does look good.

I've been kind of wanting a Vela and would definitely consider this one but If there was a trem involved it would be all over.
 
Not my cup of tea for everyday use; but that sucker would be cool onstage.

Tangential topic: does anybody know the correlation (if any) between Paul's modern pickups idea (i.e., wider bridge pickup, narrower neck pickup) between the Vela here, and the 408? Seems similar in approach. Just curious, that's all.
 
I would like to try a Vela with a PAF type pickup. I had a Starla and the starla pickup was cool but maybe I wanted a different sound but I never changed out the pickups.
