Just found the club after snagging a CA Special today on ebay.  Thought I might join the fun, this one is worth looking at...

goodness me.....
 
I've never felt such an urge to take up the guitar. More pictures are required.
 
Beautiful catch- have fun.

David:
 
Welcome to the club.  Enjoy your new Cali Special.  I was the other bidder.  Congrats.
 
Bill, the guitar one

Wow, what is that, Walnut?  Nice, congratulations. Sorry, Bill.
 
Sam

Welcome David,
 
Great guitar.  Interesting in that its hum cancellor is hidden and uses large aperture pickups.

Real Beauty!

WOW!!!
 
What a stunning BTCer'ed guitar!!!

Gorgeous.  Wood doesn't get much better than that.
 
Burl Brasilian Rosewood? I remember seeing a picture of a triple omega  at the mothership with similar wood & that's what that was.
That would be my guess. It looks a little too amber to be walnut but I could be wrong.
That's the same shape as my guitar, but even without the series electronics difference I like this one much better.  
It's more than worth looking at; as a matter of fact I think everyone is waiting for more pictures; I know I am.
 
Valentino

Welcome brother,
 
What a vision!!,kinda knocks my Variax 300 into a cocked hat.As is often said here,enjoy in good health,and as is very often said here,MORE PICTURES PLEASE!!.
 
Best Wishes,
 
Simon.

That's got to be some Burl Rosewood - before we put it on 25th Anniversary restriction. I think that's the guitar where we first tried the inlaid logo with shell.

Mica:
 
What's the story with the pickups which appear to be humcanceller size instead of the stock single coils with a Series instrument (and the apparent lack of a humcanceller)?
 
Bill, tgo

My guess would be that those are bass series pickups and the humcanceler is hidden in the body.
 
Valentino

Val's right, these are the regular AXY size pickup shells, same as a Series II 4-string bass would get. Same thought as a FatBoy pickup - wider aperture. I'm pretty sure the humcanceller is cast under the bridge pickup in the same shell.

Wonderful guitar!

Wow, you guys really keep up with this.  I will get to these questions here after putting another picture up.
