Now I'm confused. "Clownburst" is Gibson's Heritage Cherry Sunburst. AFAIK the only EB-0L Uwe has is the one I found for him with the gunshot that he had refinished in orange and blueburst. It's loud but it's not "clown" loud.  ;D

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...

TRC...?

all ridicule accepted if this is something I should know...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

That's it, only on some models in some eras the yellows and reds are brighter and the combination looks more garish than that.

It hath arrived!!! Beautiful, flawless piece of work. Never had a Bird with as low a buzz-free action - it's certainly handy to have a master luthier around devoting himself to the perfect fret job!

Pics and a report (need to restring her with fresh strings) soon.
