on 08/28/2010 		Based upon the double-neck I'm looking at, I would have to agree that there is a healthy dose of Rickenbacker present. However, I see nothing wrong with that - If someone can take an already superb instrument and make it better (if indeed it IS better), I have no complaint with that. Of course, a photo tells me nothing about the quality, so. . .

You must also hate clothes, nature, and looking in the mirror, cause it's the same day in and day out. Well, welcome to life, good luck with the rest of it - xo!

To take time in creating these intuments in talented hands shows in the in the final product.You all should be very proud of what you stand for, that being instruments that look like a quality piece of art with a beautiful sound.

on 07/18/2010 		Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they are fine insruments, But here's what I see, a 335 double neck, a Danelectro, a Gretch, a reverse Firebird. a rickenbacker, a Yamaha, an Ibanez IceMan. A flying V/Dean Razor, Taylors eight string Model, and a couple attemps at a Tele or two.
