I really like the skinny one Bradley. The big one looks like a mustache on a Chinaman!
 
Beautiful, very attractive and unique.
 
Aloha, P

Paul,
 
It is named after the Fu Manchu moustache...
 
But like the Dennis Hopper (in Easy Rider) version, not the thinner version: hence FatManchu.

I got an absentee ballot, so we're at 3 for the thin and 3 for the fatmanchu.  And apparently, one vote for Ron Paul.
 
No hanging chad yet, but I've already placed a preliminary call to the Supreme Court.

My vote goes to the second Fatmanchu.
 
I love the way the shape goes with the omega-it's the perfect complement for that bass.

well damn those tailpieces arent centered correctly
lol
if those 2 latest photos are the fatman
it has my vote brad....
nice symmetry......accents the omega and i think a 6 string deserves a meatier tailpiece.
the original looks chinsy next to it
plus if it slows you down and gets me out the door first,,,,,go for it.... lmao

HHHHHAAAAAA Flax, good one! It's the only time we can laugh at that one in here and not be out of line.
 
Physics says the skinny one will transmit the most vibration straight to the wood without loss due to absorption!

Hope I'm not to late to the vote ... This new version doesn't squeeze out the omega like the first one appeared to do - I think I'm starting to like this one.

I'm still for Fat - but is there a chance of a side-by-side with the Mk I?

The above two pics look the same to me.  Hard to tell the difference.  Sort of like most elections!  lol

The above two pics ARE the same Bill. We're comparing that tailpiece with the bird tailpiece in bradleys 752 post ;-)

Slender Bird. I like the way the tail point  contrasts with the smooth Omega cut. It also seems to me that the Fatmanchu's heft distracts me from looking at the coco bolo, but that could just be me.
