Man, I totally forgot what a joy this is to play. Really solid.

So, I'm gonna put it on ebay for about $4995 (not $5000!), and we'll see if it goes.

Good Luck with it. It's a neat guitar. Hope you get what you're asking.

Pardon my ingnorance, being just a bass player I am not familiar with all of the doo-dads that guitarist have.
 
I see a strap button on the upper horn . . .  but what is that other thing on the neck near the upper horn (seen in the moon and star pic)?

It looks like on of those strap buttons with wings on them to keep the strap on. Probably a strategy to alleviate neck dive.

If that thing with the wings is for neck dive then it has to be extremely hard to play in the upper register. It look like it's placed right at the 12th fret. I love playing around the 12th fret and up...Ouch! ( ouch only If that thing literally  sticks out!)

sorry bout the double post

An interesting point, but in practice it doesn't get in the way. It seems to have been placed strategically so that your hand is starting to turn, to go at an angle, by the time you get there.

By the way, its at the 19th fret, not the 12th.
