Since the guy is using my video as advertising I feel like I should get a cut... don't know if he'll ship, but someone should try to grab this (Ultrasonic?). No pics, but these are rare enough to strike while the iron is hot.

I think Mr Ozark already has one - you really can't have too many though. The neck is big but I have no issues adjusting to it pretty quickly.

Congrats. Looks like maybe the thin mahogany top may have gotten cracked or otherwise compromised from the larger than average switches sticking up there.

Send the guy an email and tell him I want my cut still!

I thought these were solid chunks of mahogany - sure looks and feels like it to me. That plate has me wondering what lies beneath. It's not a bad look though. :up:

The Leslie West is 2 or 3 planks of Mahogany, but it gets pretty thin where the controls are. Maybe he was just going for a Tele look..? I'm sure Ozark will have it sized up within minutes of getting it into his hands.
