Thanks Mel! The vibrato arm stays wherever you put it. Those paintings are not by Shag, although I have some of his. These are by a guy named Chris Reccardi. Check him out at chrisreccardi.com . His stuff is really cool and very 60's cool.. He's also avery successful animator and a musician.

Hey--

Our medical association commissions a lot of different art for the magazines and campaigns we do, so I try to keep up with the artists out there, but I had never heard of Chris. I sent his Website info to our Creative Director and designers in hopes we can use him for an upcoming project.

Thanks for the info, Elliot!

Man oh man!

I believe those "Original" models have the Dana wound pickups. Let us know how she sounds once you get the chance to plug in and jam a bit.

That's fantastic Jim, thanks! I'd love to help send some work his way. He's so talented and his stuff is so fresh and cool looking.

I believe you're correct. My sunburst "Original" has Dana's pickups and the sound is right on.
