Karl asked me to post a pic for him, a sweet 10-string scorpion!!!

Thanks Harry! I wonder who owns this.I've not seen it in the showcase.

Here's a link to my pretzel guitar, Old #10.  And here's Johnny Winter's Guitar.   These are the only two pretzels I am aware of, though I suspect there are more.
 
Bill, tgo

Wow.Those are high on the cool factor.I love wood carving,and it's always interesting to see it incorporated into musical instruments.

Don't forget pretzel 72-14.

Dohhh!!!  Of course I should have remembered #10's fraternal twin.  (Dope slap)

As mentioned above,I'm a big fan of Daves' Distillate.Sure wish he'd post more pics.=)  (hint hint Dave!)

[rustyg61]

I wasn't sure which Dave you were talking about, I thought it might be Dave Houck since he has many more posts than Dave De Marco.

[wishbass]

That's fine.I'm glad you posted the pic.

This pic was the first Scorpion I had ever seen. If I ever get a custom made, this is the body I want!

This is the one that I played at Guitar Center in Hollywood in 5/09
 
(the number seems to a GC stock number)

[rustyg61]

That's an interesting wood pattern in the neckthrough part of the body!

[sonicus]

Rusty, yes , It is an interesting Bass. It is medium scale as I remember. When you look at it very closely it has some finish crackling  but otherwise seems to be in decent shape. Who knows, ____it  might still  be hanging there @ the Holly Guitar Center.

We are coming to Hollywood to visit our son Easter weekend & I was hoping to go by GC while we're there so I'll see if it's still there. I'll post some pictures if it is. Thanks for the info Wolf!
