Some quick iPhone pics after Todd's YYD pics inspired me. 
The neck joint or "side cleavage" as I call it on Deluxe Foderas are universally cool looking. I just love the look and the stellar workmanship is obvious.
Also, I love how great my 2 piece mahogany body turned out.
Oh, it plays and sounds great too.

I've had my Emperor for a little over a year and I must say, as amazing as it is to play (game changer!), I do spend quite a bit of time just looking at it and smiling. Also, when I take it out at jam sessions or gigs the other musicians always ask me if they can touch it! (Not gonna read anything into that!!!).
Do other Fodera owners do this? Am I suffering from some kind of affliction or is it a magic spell of some sort?

Very beautiful, open grain, rosewood. Coupled with the ash body and dual coils there really are very few sounds it can't cover.
I'm extremely happy with it, but I would love to play/own a set neck.

Looks great! Saw your bass in newborn Gallery too
Nope. Flat. I wanted it to feel like one big pickup. Kinda weird, but it am glad I ordered it that way. I am used to playing over the PUs, so it instantly felt natural.
Just wish I went with non exposed pole pieces. Nuwavedc posted a trick to just raise the exposed pole covers, but then my ramp would be lower than the PU covers.
David, you are not alone. When I'm not playing my Monarch, I spend A LOT of time just staring at her!
As to the question that someone asked regarding radiussing the ramp, I did have mine radiussed and am very glad that I did.

I did that a lot with my E5S. I have been watching my 15 month old since I have been back from New York and she is REALLY interested in my new Monarch though. If I continued to look at the bass while watching her, it will end up covered in Doc McStuffins stickers. She is a stealthy little thing.
It is a thing of beauty though.
Disney kids cartoon. About a little girl that fixes stuffed animals and toys. Absolutely gripping television.
I can't see Vinnie doing cartoon inlays, but if you ask nice.....
I have only had my E5S for 4 months and agree on every thing you said. Just last night our soundman ask if he could play it and our drummer just wanted to hold it.
