Man, #200 is a beauty! LOVE figured walnut!!!
I really hope things change a bit for me for the better. I really hope I can order another Clement before Tom gets up to number 300!
I have a couple of ideas boppin' around that I would love to see put into play!!

Wait til #196 is done. i like it much better than #200! 
You ain't never heard this...The pictures don't do it justice.

Speaking of ideas, I'm open to suggestions for #201 (the fourth and final fretted Phoenix 
).
Since Lincoln's post about a "MM Phoenix" I've been intrigued.
So far it's a solid body 4 string maple board with 2 Bart. Jazzes - passive. The only hang up is the pseudo pickguard design. I would kind of like to steer away from the Fender style and have a unique shape that compliments the Phoenix shape.
The attached image doesn't reflect the woods being used. Oh yeah, the holes will be drilled through the body

Nofretz, How about a clear "slap plate" about the neck pick up?
Payment in full has been sent to Tom for #196 to be shipped to ME FRIDAY!!

Nofretz, How about that pick guard you have drawn in leather?
Today is Friday!! - shipping day!! Yahoo.
Thanks GOD, it is Friday!!!
Thanks, Nofretz, Leather was just a suggestion. Is there any rules against customizing a Clement after the fact. No. So it is still a possible if someone else could do it after Tom has built your dream.
Just a thought.

There is a TB member I believe he lives in south Florida that does leather work. Sorry don't remember his name but you may be able to hunt it down...t
Much prefer that one, but not too sure about the full pick-guard coverage on the upper Bout.
Do like the curve passing through the bridge pup tho! And the reshaping of the end to try and squeeze the 'ergo' and felicia shape in. I have been thinking the same sort of thing on a Kim shape!!
Are you planning this on another short scale?

Nofretz, I would suggest the "guard" not be on either horn and to run over all the " pot holes" to the body "tail". Normally and because I am in the car business I would not recommend running over pot holes but this is different. 
Take 27 is cool. I'd agree with above though, have the rear come back to cover all three pots but not as high as to cover the upper arch... or just leave it as it is! You are on the right path though IMO.

Yeah, that does seem a bit much - visually the balance is off.
Short scale as usual. The fingers don't stretch as they used to.

Tom mentioned the same about the pots, especially the one straddling the fence. I may keep the 2 vol pots on guard and the tone on the body, sort of a form function thing. T- minus 2 days and counting eh?

Thanks for all the input.
Decided to switch to a Ash body instead of Cedar for the grain.
