It's a beauty but I'm confused, you paid more than he was originally asking?

This is a photo taken for a story by a local paper in 2013. It just so happens that Marv was working on a couple of 357s. The one on the bench is mine and the one Marv is holding is Bolero's. I know mine is the one on the bench as it was running a few weeks behind waiting on my custom fret board, "From them boys down in Tennessee". Marv sent me several in process shots of the build, but it's nice to have an action shot of the build. https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/2013/02/love_where_you_live_photos_by.html

That's a much better price

I'm kind of pissed this isn't available on a Kzoo made 150. I've been flirting with ordering one, but $1k is a bit much for a Chinese made heritage More like descend.

Agreed.

Per Arnie Helinski, it was a bit of both. The neck was originally supposed to be for a custom Roy Clark but something didn't meet the original customer's spec and it wound up just sitting on the shelf being "too nice to scrap". When the PSP giveaway was being discussed that year, Arnie suggested using that five piece neck on the giveaway guitar and Marv et al agreed. I'm glad they made that decision. 😁
