    Um, Rex moved. He's living at my house. Yeah, that's it - he's, um, in the guest bedroom.

    You need my address, Pete?

    Please stop trying to distract me - I'm having enough problems dithering over a bongo or a 25th

    Looks nice though...

    Thanks for posting this Pete.

    My Big Al is Vintage Sunburst with a Rosewood fretboard too, but I ordered mine with a matching headstock and a black pickguard.

    can anyone who's played one comment on the overall feel of the Big AL. i read a lot about the cool tones and electronics and realize the neck is 1.5" at the nut. Does it hang and play like a Sterling? more like the Bongo? i know, it's all subjective.
