So here it is. Any guesses as to whether this was a special order, a prototype, or..? Mark, I'll get pics with the pickup rings next weekend.
I'm commuting between LA and Utah most weekends, so I didn't get a chance to play it through an amp yet. I'll post a complete review when I can. In the meantime, here's how it looks:

Very nice! I like the neck inlay and the Lp-style toggle with black plate.
Is the headstock loner than normal?

I like it better up close than in the auction pics.
I'm thinking prototype, not special order.

Very nice ! It has a little wear on the back, someone must have liked playing it. Sure is purty.

I saw this one when it was first listed and I instantly loved it - looks even better in your pics.
This is a great score!

Thanks guys! I haven't compared it yet, but the headstock looks very similar to my EB4. It looks pretty cool being so long... Ok, I gotta hit the road and be back at work at 5:30AM. See ya!

I look forward to a full report and how it compares with your white short scale one.
