A FB friend of mine recently shared an image he had showing a color X-Ray image of his Custom Shop Elite Lefty inside an OHSC.

Any earth-shattering luthier projects in the works, Dan... or have you returned to aircraft.

Years ago, was able to watch my 1537 go thru the x-ray machine at the Denver airport. Very cool.....

Cool pics, Dan. Definitely an O in that case!

Somewhat on-off topic... years ago I placed an SD media card into a bank statement envelope that was in a file box with hundreds of other envelopes. There were four file boxes, all with hundreds of envelopes. I have since forgotten which envelope and box the card was placed into. I would really like it back, but not to the point of opening all those envelopes. Point is.. I sure wish I had access to an x-ray machine like this one! Of course, the x-ray would probably kill the card anyway. Bad brain is the actual problem here.

I dunno. My SIM cards have been through lots of airport X-ray machines and they still hold data.

I'm sure if you're friendly with your doctor he could probably arrange a 'private' session for your files.

A quick burst xray will likely not degrade the data....

True because it is not magnetic radiation.

No Kaman bar. Mid depth. LX? No graphite stiffeners. One output - is it XLR only?
How did he aquire these images? I have never been offered that service in an airport. Maybe if you have connection to a radiograph (or what its called) in health care.

Nope. It's a simple dovetail neck with a standard TR that bolts on with 1/4" output jack. Same as the 50th Anniversary guitars.

He wrote that in his country, Russia, the metro has x-ray machines. He took his guitar in, they put it in the machine and he took photos of the x-ray machine screen.

He recently sent a few pics of his 12-string Custom Legend. This one has a K-bar neck.

Cool. Clearly visible that the Kaman bar neck is a metallic construction with a wooden cover/cladding so to say.
