A beautiful looking guitar. What is that krinkle finish anyways? Is it a powder coating, a chemical process, plating?

Well, if they had Keith Richards do the movie he wouldn't need make-up...

Rick, that’s the best looking steel this forum has ever seen. If the data base (see other thread) happens this one will have to be at the top!

Is that a dual tone and volume control or are my eyes deceiving me?

Looks great Rick, hope to see it soon. Here's a clip of George Harrison doing a pirate song with steel guitar back up. It looks like the steeler has the same jacket as the set-up demo guy in the Winnie Winston/Bill Keith book.
