Post by Mike »

HC head honco, Phil O' Keefe took lots of pictures when he went to Corona recently, I figure you guys will dig this as much as me.

it is nice looking. I hope they bring a bunch of cool shit to NAMM this year instead of a bunch of hideous relic esquires and fretless flamed quilted birds eye jazz basses.

Very cool tour. These threads are always dangerous in that they turn me on to guitars I would have never otherwise known exist.

actually i think the first one was called the fender elite. the robin ford was based off that and added all the fancy shit.

this one looks like the saddles have little turn knobs on the back
