Although the price looks optimistic to me the history of the original flamed furies seems to be captured well!

Location: Upper Left USA		I couldn't find the post but some time ago Beal told the story of the original Tribal Flamed Ts that were done in full.
Sort of a proto to the Flames that Guitar Center and who else had made for them.

It/they are 1778Ts which is to say LXs with a Rock Maple neck and an attitude.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Woody is correct. The label on mine says 1778T Elite. I also recall Beal saying something about the painter living on a boat and it took forever because he would only accept one had a time to complete.

Location: Phoenix AZ		Heck, MAACO can paint your whole darn car for a hundred bucks.

I think the bottom line for me is that the Looks, Sound and Price sort of have to match up for me to be happy with the total package. I mean come on, would you want to date a girl with a GREAT body but lousy personality and a terrible cook? Oh ... never mind.

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		I was lucky enough to get a Full Red Flame from a Dear Friend, then I found a Tribal and Actual Full Purple (Chameleon) Flame both in the UK.

The pictures of the Purple Flame are from the Ovation Gallery, because for the life of me, I can't photograph this guitar, but this way you can see the color changing, and different flame (single layer).

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :)		I still like the flag ones they did for the Custom Legends... I've always wanted one to play on Memorial Day and Veteran's Day Concerts, but just can't justify another purchase like that. Dang nice tribal guitar pics though... thanks for posting those.
