A tunerless, coneless tricone?! Now that's space-age technology!

Probably that you can buy a vintage -- albeit solid neck -- tricone square neck for essentially the same as a new hollow neck tricone. Don Y states they are looking at making only two or so per month as they are unsure of the market demand.

When I was actively hunting and collecting tricones in the 1960's I never ran across a square neck that wasn't hollow. Well they weren't really hollow they do have a wooden insert that slides into the neck area which among other things allows dovetailing of the peghead to the neck. The rare birds were the ones with wooden necks round or square. YMMV, IMHO,IMO..etc,etc.
