Re: Brass Rail Registry?
Deluxe #7 is on eBay again and the neck is either sunburst or natural on the back. It's also a set neck model.

My Deluxe #10 also has a set neck.

BTW, although Deluxe #10 has a set neck it looks as though it may have been drilled to be a bolt-on at first; either that or they inserted dowels into the neck to help keep it in place, I don't know. I think the former idea's more likely.

Re: Brass Rail Registry?
I'm bumping this up because I found Deluxe #11. In light of what Adam mentioned earlier, that Brass Rails must be separated into different batches, I've changed the list; I've separated the deluxe models out of the others. I'm not sure what else to do at this point, or if I even should put all the deluxe models together. Sorry if this isn't quite correct yet.
Deluxe Models:
3 - Black - sold by a mosriteforum member
5 - Black, commemorative plaque on back of body - for sale by Expat Guitars
7 - Black, commemorative plaque - for sale on EBay in Michigan 2014

All other models:

8 - Standard, Cherryburst w/white binding - owned by Expat gtrs
22 - no more info other than it was for sale in 2010 and is mentioned as a 'Gene Moles Custom' - is this the BR neck on Celebrity body?

Re: Brass Rail Registry?
Notes to No. 49 (which has been moved to a "partsrite" section) and the "Prototype" in the Unknown Numbers section added; they may be the same guitar. Fretted Americana may have seen 49 on eBay in 2010, bought it, and put it up for sale. It's possible, since there are only 3 Brass Rails with a Moseley Vibrato. This is according to Ed Elliott, who assembled the 3 as partsrites.
