Ain't she purdy! Have you supersized the rim on that new one davewhite or just a trick of perspective?

Are they being built to order, davewhite? Or do they be for a show of some sort?

The gestation process continues I've never had BAS (Banjo Acquisition Syndrome) until I saw this picture. The peghead is beautiful. Dave, would you ever make a guitar with such peghead? Are the tuners 4:1 ratio?

Ok I'm biased,but these are surely your greatest ever works, Dave? I like the intriguing and revolutionary-looking 'stick' in the pot of the one on the right.....this your idea?
