Nice.
Tangentially, since "The Soft White Sixties" are referred to as "Guild artists", wouldn't it be nice of there was a white Guild bass?
I'd vote for a Pilot but a white Starfire or M85 wouldn't be too shabby. Then the truly obsessed can have white and black versions of the same instrument.

Here's the picture dated 12/2/16 which reads: "We're getting closer to the D-55! Are you ready?".
I guess on time for NAMM 2017 in January.

What do you guys think... Are they making the lettering/g-shield out of something other than MOP? THe fat part of the G doesn't look quite right. Looks more like plastic. I'm probably wrong though.

Looks like gen-yoo-wine MOTS to me:

Yeah, but Al, MOTS is harder to get with all the new import/export laws and they MAY have to make do with a substitute. MOTS has gone the way of the dinosaurs, you know? :stupid:

Personally I think the Toilet Seat has way more figuring to it than the G shied logo on the new D55 necks in the photo. I wonder how much of an Upcharge there would be to substitute the materials?

You have to supply your own toilet seat..... and don't even THINK of taking it out of the country!!!

Only the fossil-grade stuff.
New virgin material's not endangered or subject to, uh, "restrictions"..

How much do you think that I could get for an old MOTS that I inherited from my grandparent's estate? I don't think its ever been used. My wife hates it so it is sitting in the basement with nothing to do. I don't have a CITES ticket but do I have to have one for this vintage material????

The concept of vintage and toilet seat kind of scare me.

All you need to know is that if it's wood and it's been refinished it's worthless.

That needs to find a loving home on Craigslist, it's what it's for.
