        This guitar would look even more amazing with a one piece top.

                  Hey Sully, do you happen to have more of that Koa, or maybe have you run across some wide tubular Koa that might look good on one of your V's? Hmmmm....?

                    I don't, but should I find more, it'll be mentioned, for sure. Koa (especially koa that nice) is really hard to come by, and rather expensive.

                          Sully of Nut-Noose guitars motto.."I like nice 'tings"

                          Wow..that's nice wood! Nice to see your passion is still passionate !!

                          Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't there similair style of body designed for more sustain, called 'sustain points' or something. I remember GW award them in the 90's. They didn't look anything cool as this. Monroe guitars..I think

                          Sully, Could you make a super-size strat. A REAL Super Strat. Just a tad smaller than the one at Disneyworld. So I could look Randy Rhoads size. I remember you being the goods with great giants in the past. ..speaking of.. Where's Ron?
