MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, a restored MSA Classic SS, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Also a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored Rose S10, named the "Blue Bird". Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also have a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks, and a showroom condition Sho-Bud Super Pro.

Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

I've had mine for a couple of months, bought it to migrate from a D12 to a U12, a change that I'm really starting to appreciate and enjoy.
This is a beautiful axe that Bill had on hand, ready to ship, when I contacted him about the wait time for a new U12. Not being a particularly patient person, and this being almost exactly what I would have ordered anyway, I took it and am loving it!

Williams guitars
Tim Heidner, it's funny what you say that about liking the blue Williams guitars. I never cared much for blue PSG's (or cars, or electric guitars). But while at the Williams shop ordering my guitar (see photo in post above), Tim Rudolph showed me his own blue lacquer Williams. I've come to really like the blue lacquer Williams. Starts with well-figured wood, and Bill/Tim do a great job with the finish. Nice instruments, guys.
