Already have 2 60 Customs, but I'm also waiting for the Crunchmark. Not that I care about Brian Causey that much, but it has a bolt on neck, which should be a really noticeable tonal difference to the 60 Custom's set neck.
Noel, thanks for the great interview!

I am quite interested in the Brian Causey model as well, not only for the bolt on neck, but also it has been hinted at some slight circuitry changes. I would, however, have to insist that Bob sends me an alternate pick guard, as I have zero desire to play out with Brian's signature circuit board pick guard. Let that be his thing.

I have a Sunset Sparkle Custom 60 that I got last fall. Mr. Shade is such a nice guy. He signed the guitar on the back of the headstock (I assume he does this for all of his guitars). He also emailed me a few times and we talked about bands we both like. You can't get that kind of customer service from any of the other manufacturers that I know of.

Also, it's an awesome guitar. It looks and sounds like a Mosrite but has more of a Fender neck profile.
