I NEED a one pick up rev Bird once... The 'Japanese' three pick up one's great too!

@ Ken: The Clownburst used to be an EBO-L. It's still on the TRC.

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

TRC...?

all ridicule accepted if this is something I should know...

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...

truss rod cover, the bell shaped plastic thingy on the headstock. No problem:)

Ah... now I understand... the thingy I've mislaid from my RDA... still hunting for it, you would not believe the amount of junk I've accumulated, but then again...  ;D

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.
