I know he isn't building anymore, but an used Rhoney ? Most of his models were offsets, and you can't be more osg-related!
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

From the Reverb listing:

The original pickguard, knobs, and pickup cover come with it, and I'll be restoring them minutes after unboxing it.

The Oceana is really a marvel of modern guitar design.

Thank you!!

I'm kind of aghast at what the previous owner did to it, but that'll be remedied ASAP.

I look at the green sparkle one that’s been up for a while and while it looks real pretty but I’m like genetically unable to vibe with tremololess guitars :/

That thing sure is pretty though Maggie - Paul did great work and I miss seeing new creations from him :(

The binding is gold.

I get on with trems and non-trem guitars, so I'm good with either. I am, after all, obsessed with Teles.

I really love one-pickup guitars, too.

I don't mind the black. Red and white does work better with a Christmas tree though. LOL

My beef with the black is the shape of the pickguard. It just doesn't work for me.

I would totally like the black more if the guard was the right shape like the white one.
