    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    You got it, the same action back as the Model A; no other jacket I've tried has come anywhere close to that range of motion.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    This is going to be magic, UV. I'll be nearly as excited to see it as you are! If I can keep myself disciplined enough to avoid the 2nd hand Japanese market the rest of the year, I'm fiddling with plans for a Western yoke Mohawk.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Long time lurker, and new member introduction post. Growing up with my grandparents' handmade furniture and one-owner '68 2002 irrevocably set me on the course for appreciating timeless quality, and developing the temperament to maintain it. From tube amplifiers, to air-cooled motorcycles, and...
