Didn't a couple have the inlaids designed after Bill's wife's earrings?

Are there production serial numbers assigned to these?

This is what the Collector's 2009 should look like.

I think the broccoli head and carved bridge is corresponding much better to the wood top than to a composite top.

Beautiful guitars!

only the first two had the necklace inlays and Glen has one and I have the other.

There were very few of these made that cas has. I have one that was an experiment to see if we could use straight polyester finish which was very hard and would cold crack easily. We put a layer of real fine glass cloth, soaked it in the finish and put it on the top. The whole thing was then put against a flat plate and a the air sucked out and allowed to cure. Result is a nice flat shiney finish that is reinforced. In the end we didn't use this approach, too hard to do it. I found this guitar several years ago and it still sounds great. Has a finish crack though....

Make sure he doesn't do a stage show with it and smash it into the drum kit.
