DAMN DEAN! That is gorgeous! For my tastes, it doesnt get ANY better than that. The flame, the color is damn perfect. If it sounds anywhere near as good as it looks, I hope you keep and enjoy it!

Ed,
My hat goes off to "Mr. Mayor" on this fine guitar!
I know tone is a personal thing, but I couldn't have done a better job in picking out a "keeper" than what Dave did.

As long as the concrete jobs keep rolling in, it's a safe bet that I will hang on to it.

If you see it on ebay, you KNOW my work has slowed down!

You don't know how bad I wanted that guitar! It killed me to pass on it, but at least it is in good hands. :)

hey goodwood

I love that guitar-I can hear it singing from here;) -I've been looking at the pics since you posted them and that is exactly what I will be looking for in the looks dept when I buy my next one which should be pretty soon. I hope there is another with that "mojo" out there---again man,beautiful. Mr Mayor knows his pauls. It is as far as my tastes go it is the best reissue I have seen-I always liked chevron flame but after buying the BOTB book and seeing all the different types of tops I started to dig the tops like yours.Peace and enjoy
