SHOW SPECIALS

RG20061 - This is an RGT220A that has been spun on the rotisserie and slow roasted to a nice chocolate brown. Just add you own special sauce for a finger licken treat! $2133.32 List price includes J Craft case. [EDIT] - After actually receiving these it was very clear the story, though cute, was nothing but fabrication. These were no more than brown stained 220A's at a serious price increase, with the stain drips and slops clearly apparent in the cavities. The final number on these reported by Chesbro was 153 made for wordwide distribution.

RG20062 - The Puzzle Guitars, each rep is limited to 2 of these so they are very limited. Here's an interesting twist. At heart these are RG3120's but instead of the typical bookmatched top they have puzzle piece tops. The 2 is a flat red with quilted and flamed maple cut into classic jigsaw pieces, and then vacuum formed to the body. Cool, but unfortunately figure has never shown very well in red, and the flat doesn't help display it any better. But it is very nice in it's subtlety. List price of $2399.99 includes J Craft case.

RG20063 - Another puzzle but instead of figured maple it's maple and ovankol giving the top a very pronounced light and dark puzzle piece color scheme. Specs the same as the 62 above. $2399.99 List price includes J Craft case.

SA Something - I didn't write down the model number or take any high res shots to read it because it is MIK like all SA's, but this is the only other maple board guitar besides the PGM301. The finish was Biker Black, and List price is $1333.32.

This was a Prestige bass that was also a show special but I didn't get any info on it, sorry!

HR Giger

SHRG1Z - The second phase of the collaboration with Giger, The S1 as cool as a polar bears nuts! The design is sandblasted into the top of the body and headstock ala the JEM90th and the smoke mirror inlay finishes it off very nicely. Claimed to be made in Japan but all finish work will be done in Korea, I wish they'd just do a full blown MIJ model. There will be a Phase 3 which nobody will talk about so lets hope.
