I'm assuming ball park pricing is in line with current models?

Pretty much. Here is what I am thinking so far.
Provocateur (with rhythm chief pickups) $1575 (there will be a slight upcharge for super chief humbuckers but I'm not sure how much that will be yet. Probably $50-$75 or there about)
Riddle standard: $1575. Same features and upgrades as above .
Riddle dlx (with bindings and standard with super chief pickups) $1795
Attache: I was really hoping to keep the price the same on this one but as it turns out, the redesigned way of making this guitar (which is a COMPLETELY different guitar than the prototype from a few years ago) is more labor intensive.
That being said, the new attache with rhythm chiefs will be about $1650.

Do you have different pickguard color or only gold?

Pretty much anything is possible. If the guard is aluminum and anodized then colors are somewhat limited. BUT aluminum can be powder coated in almost any color.
A guard could also be made of acrylic and either back painted or if colored acrylic is available then that is a possibility.

Just read this whole thread.
Love it. I am seriously considering one of these as my next guitar.

You know what would be gnarly dude? If you did one of these as a double cut where the top horn mirrored the bottom horn. Like a cross between a mosrite and an SG and a les paul. That would be so gnarly.

:-) what you'd essentially be looking at then is a late 50s ric combo 650 or 850. Unfortunately THAT shape is a registered trademark and would be very difficult to get around. :-/

Ugh ever since photobucket decided to "improve" their mobile app I can't figure out how to change my upload size so the pics aren't too big.
This is a lesson I have actually applied to guitars. When you have a good thing, leave it alone and stop messing with it!

Yeah I don't know if you can...can you? I just let the pics be huge and feel bad.

Let's see if this works! I downloaded the "simple resize" app and tried making this pic smaller before loading it into photobucket.

YAY IT WORKED!
By the way this 12-string is now done and available!
It has a couple boo boos due to me grabbing the wrong drill bit but I touched them up so they're less ugly.
Offered on facebook at $1150. Pm if seriously interested and want to talk about the ILF benefits program!
