    I have posted pis up in the "post a pic" section, but I thought I would post some down here too. You can see more of the construction from start to finish up there though. It is designed after the new PRS McCarty guitar. Hope you like.

    I'd be careful playing that in public. Some of us might be involuntarily driven beyond our pacifist natures by lust... That's a beauty, and I'll keep it in mind as part of my "Five Year Five String" plan.

    That's the best looking Mann I've seen BY FAR! I've got extreme MAS for it till I see the price! Would it be too bold to ask?



    Thanks,
    Rick

    Wait til yall see the custom case I had Cedar Creek build for it. It's a mini end bound(tweed w/ brown leather) and the interior is golf leaf, it's killer!!!

    Doc PM me and we can talk a little about what I paid for it. Or I might PM you....

    You can contact them and they will give you their current price for one. I can't remember exactly what the cost was....a few hundred I believe. It was custom, so the e-mando fit in there exactly (inside was molded to the shape of the e-mando.

    They look better than the "real" PRS mandos!
