Location: 6 String Ranch		The early ones had pickguards till we ran out of the brackets to hold them off the body. We ditched them after that, nobody really uses them anyway. The necks were basically Preecheur deluxe necks after the abalone switch.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		The only thing that would make the UKII better would be to make one with a wood top. Oh... they did :)

Location: 6 String Ranch		Yeah, just one and you have it! It's the core of an Adamas top molded onto the top of the body. I wonder if the Adamas top core adds sound?

Maybe "add" isn't exactly the right word, but it does change the sound slightly. When compared to my other UKII's there seems to be a subtle difference on that one that I can only attribute to the wood. A slightly different tone, and slightly different sustain. I like it's sound a little more, but I'm sure it's uniqueness factors in as well. The easiest way to "hear" the change is to cranck it up and let a note turn into feedback. The woodtop UKII sounds richer at that point then the others, and it's easily noticeable that it's different.
