Waiting for the police hold to expire on this, snapped a few pic's, advertised as "from the 30's" can't find any other pictures of similar models. Serial number reads 100104, I think, it's faint, stamped in the back with the flocking. Played it through a stock '57 twin that pearl jam had just purchased for 6 g's, dirty trick on the salesmans part you ask me, but needless to say it sounded AMAZING! can't wait til I can take it home...

About two or three days ago, I saw a guitar just like this one in the showroom over at Steel Guitar Nashville! Bobbe Seymour's.

| Interesting pickups. They "look" like humbuckers, but I would think it more likely that they're single coils like the ones in my National archtops. Jason Lollar did a wonderful job of rewinding one of them, and makin' it hotter, and warmer. |

| Between the knobs and the tortoise binding, its worth the price of admission just for having the COOLEST looking guitar anywhere! |
