Seriously not serious banterness I guess can happen in the correct conditions.,, such as lighting and depth of field oh and if you had a V8 or not (which can cause walking on a slant as you well know.

AC, I took your suggestion and contacted Alistair at Emerald Guitars and they indeed will do a 12" fretboard radius so I went ahead and ordered a custom X7 today. I ordered it with the 12" fretboard radius, trussrod delete, pinless bridge, lightweight Sperzel tuners and a green gloss finish on the top and on the face of the headstock and the Crystal Ice finish on the back and sides. Alistair was wonderful to work with and I'm excited to be getting it in about 4 months or so. My hats off to you! Thanks for the suggestion!
