Have you ever considered a collaboration with Duesenberg Guitars? Atze has some far out stuff going, and he's got people like Keef, Billy Gibbons and Bob Dylan playing his gear.

It would probably not meet all of the DoT safety standards...if you know what I mean.

Ever been inside?

Probably not anymore, since 9/11, unless you work there. back in 2000, I walked in and checked out the lobby. Absolutely stunning!

.....and then they booted me out!
I've only seen it from outside, but it seems BEATIFUL on the inside!

I suspect they're doing fine with their own inhouse ideas, and I'm currently not free to 'wander' too far from the Tennessee company thats making some of my guitar designs.

Thanks MisterNatural...I'd like to think that the Chrysler building started out as a sketch on a cafe napkin too.

(I don't know why your 'quoted' photos didn't show up, they're still up there on photobucket)

My wife, an art professor, thinks Teles have a bit of the Art Deco look in the contour of the body, which is a beautiful work of proportion.

I fell in love with ART DECO from going to baseball games at
Cleveland Municipal Stadium. It had gotten a bad rap because of
the bad teams that played there but architecturally it was an awesome
building. I sure do miss it.

Tulsa Oklahoma was a hotbed of art deco architecture during the era, and of course much still remains of it.

Beautiful bike!

I ran the support truck for a bike run today...I've been a h-d guy my entire riding life. My next bike will be a Strat-O-Liner...talk about a sleeper!
