I've already let Brad's FD and Andrew's primo Tornado slip past my 'trigger finger'.  While these two were definitely in the 'market', I've yet to see the 'flag' at a decent price since I've been able to consider one.
So if anyone finds one,  ! |

There's a body to one of those at the Mothership; it needs a neck. Find something that you don't care for body-wise but with a good neck, and send it in to mate with the flag body, and voila: you have one for $chump$change$.
PS - got the bag today, thanks! It goes out Saturday.
And you can paint guitars - most of the gloss black ones out there didn't get that way naturally. And auto paint works really well.
