I have been emailing the owner for a few months.
This thing looks like something Roger Rossmeisl worked on after closing.

Man, that video sure makes Coros look hot.  At least, the six-in-line version.  I don't much care for the 3+3 version.

I'm not that keen. I don't really like the tailpiece. The cutaway is a bit ugly too.

I kinda feel Fender should have stuck to the 6-in-lines.

What are those pickups?
