ICK :P  The F holes kill it for me and I'm not in love with the headstock either - I could live with the headstock but not the F holes.  The body is made of ash wonder what it sounds like?

Half-ashed?  :)

I have to live next to an ash tree, and anyone who has ever lived next to one involuntarily will know how much they "shed" everywhere... I spent half my year pulling the little blighters up...

Not my favourite wood...  >:(

Bryan... it's a VERY BIG TREE...

I could always cut a slice off of it whilst the owners are away...  ;)

We may have a problem with the supply of ash in N. America, thanks to the emerald ash borer. It's an accidentally imported Asian beetle and it has spread over the midwest, as far south as the Mason-Dixon line and up into Ontario and Quebec.

Lucky you. Pretty big, one piece P's are really the best.

Our neighborhood is about 80% ash trees and the Emerald Ash borer has moved into town. We can send them your way?

I had forgotten about that special run too. IIRC they were only offered for a month or two in the US, maybe longer in Europe and Japan.

Got one and it's finished evenly for MIC.  I'll report on the pups after rehearsal tomorrow night. Should like this one better over time vs. my original plan to refinish a Goth.

Funny how Epiphone knows how to chrome plate parts (like the much loved by me 3 point) and Gibson does not........... ???
