Jim, maybe I was wrong, I figured this was another one of them polls. It could be if about 299 more guys reported in.

Well, here's mine; built in 1980 by Paul Sr. for me.
The number is #21 and plays as good as ever; never had to have it worked on for any reason.
After Paul Jr. tweaked and tuned it and made sure that it worked, he put all of the great playing of riffs and licks on it; the only problem is I couldn't find all of them.

| Paul was working on an SD-10 when I visited him in early August. He showed me a new CNC Milled aluminum neck which would suggest there could be a very limited number still built. |

| I have #037, built March of 1981 for me by Paul. It's a white U12, 7 & 5, "stereo" outputs, with Paul's pickup wound as a split coil and and a George L 5 position pickup. The older I get the more I appreciate it and Paul Sr. and Jr.'s creativity and commitment. |

Not sure but the last time I heard, it was around 205. Anyway, here are my two, numbers 83 and 196. They both play great and I thank Paul everytime I sit down behind them.
