Can a Monarch Deluxe be ordered without a top? Just solid alder body?

Does anyone have pics of a topless Fodera?

Felix Pastorious has been playing Mike Bendy's topless ash bodied imperial. There are tons of pics out there but this one has a cat with laser eyes. =}

OK, how about this....I know guys bring their basses in for upgrades, I see the old preamps on eBay all the time. After purchase would you accept one for that bit of work, or is that too trivial a thing? It's not a big deal, but the first Foderas I ever saw back in the day all had the wooden wings, and I've always thought that was a better look for an unpainted wooden bass.

We would do one as an after-sale service, but it would be an awful lot of money to spend...you would probably be better off just ordering a custom with a Wooden butterfly...

Regards,

I have an office day in New Jersey today and I just got the call from Vinny about the 6-string hollow body prototype. We JUST finished it and at 2:00pm EST it made its first ever musical notes. Over four years in development and Vinny finally got to sit down and hear it. His voice was literally shaking with excitement. I will not directly quote what Vinny said because he is a very modest man and his words might be misconstrued, but let's just say that I am brimming with excitement at the prospect of getting to hear it for myself tomorrow morning!

Right next to it was Wrp's Prototype full hollow bodied 6 string. Man, what a bass. Looking at it left me speechless.
