Here is another fun one I thought I'd share, a real nice maple topped Belle with a Dusenberg multibender bridge.
Some basic specs
24" scale
Quarter sawn African mahogany body
Select flame maple top and head cap
Rosewood fretboard with bone inlay
BG-Pups Custom Blues neck and BG A3 Rockwind bridge pickups
4 way rotary switching
Dusenberg Multibender bridge
Premium Tru Oil finish
.

Steve ... its in an E7, high to low E B G# E D B. Lever 1 goes down 1/2 step, lever 2 up one whole step, and lever 3 up 1/2 step.
Carl .. I'm excited too! For those that might be curious, below is a rough pic of the ribbon striped sapele body for Carl's Belle ... its a beautiful hunk of wood.
