Ted...

Sounds great! In reference to the red rosette that is on the LA Limited... how exactly is it placed on the guitar? Would the same process be possible to add something minor to the headstock?

Ted, you are killing us! What's the scoop?!!! The timing is great here as Ashvin could bring an AGF Limited Edition Shorty to NAMM...

Sharks. A Shorty with sharks. I dig sharks. Rosette of Tarpman's choosing. He has much better taste than me. Sharks, though.

Ok guys, what say you to a gloss Shorty with Abalone rosette and shark fret markers also in Abalone. While we are at it how about red Abalone?

Wow... sharks are possible? Cool.

Red Abalone would be great!

Will the finish be only available in gloss? Or will FT also be available as part of the twelve?

I don't think Ted has decided on this, sounds like he is asking for opinions. I'm not in the market but how would the flat finish look with red abalone?

Hmmm, good! Then don't you think a cobalt blue rosette (like the color in my signature) would look handsome against the black gloss?!!

Ok, another thought. You have already done one Rainsong guitar with a red rosette. Make this one special.

1. It is going to be an AGF Limited Edition Rainsong Shorty

2. What other color rosettes can Ashvin do?

My vote would be to bring in something special at the lower end of the line. How about a Rainsong OM 1100 N2 in gloss with fancy fret markers, soundhole design, and a gig bag????

Are you saying my custom was not special?

We can certainly limit the sale to AGF members if there is enough interest here, but an official AGF limited would need to be discussed with JR.

I think your suggestion of a cobalt blue is possible and would look awesome. Hopefuly the shark inlay can be done the same color. I like the idea of keeping the cost as low as possible and the idea of an FT finish guitar with the abalone rosette.

Will Rainsong produce a Shorty gigbag, and would that be a possibility? Seems to make sense for a quasi-travel guitar....
