Roscoe singlecut?

Anybody have a photo or a mock-up of a Roscoe singlecut? A search reveals that one has yet to be made, although it's something that the company is willing to build.

Thanks for picking up the baton, Bill!

I'm really favouring* this design:



*tip o'the hat to our resident Irishman! Or should that be tip o'the Guinness?

Wow! I forgot about these. Gard, is Roscoe willing to experiment and build one of these? I may be willing to be the "guinea pig".

Gard, if this is honestly a possibility, we need to talk about this for the fretless I want to order in a few months.........Seriously.

...interesting...

...well, we've been waiting to get orders before starting them.

I fear there will be sticker shock for some folks however, because the pricing on these will be Signature + -ish numbers.

I figured that. But I would be the first kid on my block to have one.....

Hey. Just my $0.02, but what do I know?

Yeah, that would be a killer single cut. I'm not a huge single cut kind of guy but I'd love to see one of these completed. The more pretty wood the better!

Come on Ryan or Bob go for it! Apparently Deon got distracted.

I'd love to. However, after getting some pricing info, it's just not going to happen for me, I'm afraid.

So, it's up to Bob now!

Hmmm.

1. Phone call to be made to Gard in the next few days to get an idea of pricing.
2. Depending on # 1, there may be things for sale in the Effects, Cab and then eventually Bass sections. I've been meaning to get rid of some stuff; this would be the catalyst.
3. If I do this, it would be a 5 string with a Swamp Ash body, Crazy-curly-claro-crotch Walnut top (a little humor there for you), Birdseye Maple fingerboard, Nordy pups, Aggie pre with the parallel/series & passive/active switches and possibly the neck pup a bit closer to the fretboard. I'd have to talk to Gard about that first.

Oh man. Gettin' some sweats now.

Got off the phone with Gard about an hour ago. I have a LOT of thinking to do.
