+1 I celebrate the man's entire product line. But it must be TWICE as hard for you, Gard. . . I mean, working for the legend and never getting your OWN name on a bass. I should let you put your name on both my builds, huh? 
Or maybe you just couldn't decide which decal color to go with on your CS6? 
I'm betting it's a classic case of KBR envy.  Quote:

For us, yes. But at my last gig, this mother of two teenagers comes up to me and starts asking about my bass and such. She had just started learning to play and it was so easy to let her copy Keith's name off the headstock (she wrote it down on an index card).
Now, is she going to go out and trade her Ibanez for a Roscoe tomorrow? Probably not. I didn't tell her how much they cost, but I did let her hold the LG. I find the name decal to be very helpful in recruiting new Roscoeheads. Who knows if down the road she may get in touch with the shop. She actually lives closer to Roscoe HQ than I do. 
Another "gift" sale for Gard. Oh, and it was JOME77's solid body #5808 that was giving her fits. Especially the matching fingerboard and neck stringer.

Oh and it is sooooo pretty! 
I went for option 3 - I got Keith to actually hand sign mine!  Actually I got Gard to get Keith to sign it........
....That's like a real autograph of "The MAN"!  |

Oh, Gard!!! I'm having an idea. . . I predict an annoying needy obnoxious phone call to your facility in 3, 2, 1. . . .

Joe, I'm with you - the hand signature is the way to go.
Gard, keep your children in line.

My senior year I happened to come across 100 blank hall passes and about 60 blank report cards. Our school was not computerized and when you had access to the office area because you had a connection in the cleaning crew, well lets just say my senior year taught me a great deal about capitalism.
Oh what people would pay to have a passing grade.
And yes, the statute of limitations is over for this dark part of my life.
