I've seen that snake before but I think it was sold as a J Turser prototype by Sanatoga on EBay...Check out this one I just snagged...Interesting and-according to the seller-inspired by Doug Rowells work (I own two of Dougs designs)....

Dave,
Your Paula is far more beautiful than the "protos" on Ebay.
I can't figure out what's so beautiful about a mermaid with pickup in one breast. I like a more consistent design like your guitar.
The ebay snake looks more consistent but a bit vulnerable. I wonder how it plays.
I guess a snake Paula feels like a Paula.
I remember an original Aria Pro II strat model with dragon carving, I should have bought then, and it felt like an (Aria) strat.
But what to think about so much air and so little wood? It must feel very strange...

I was looking for the Aria dragon strat, but found something else. Not vintage but recent:

Nice Dave, very nice...
Freak,
Don't be so serious...
Just like the expression "Sorry, I have to take a leak",
in Dutch we say: "Pardon, ik moet even mijn zwager een hand geven", which means:
"Sorry, I have to shake me brother-in-law's hand"
There are a lot of brother-in-law and mother-in-law jokes in Holland.
So now you know where I was before I read your message... |

Allmost made my heart skip a couple of beats.....
Pity the headstock doesn´t say "Ibanez"...would have been a perfect match with my carved Ibanez with botanical figures.....

Some years ago, this one was ƒ650.- second hand and in a better condition at Mary Holland's.
Harry, the botanical figures are giant Sequoia cones. We have one here at the castle's park. The baron had a predilection for special trees.
Now the people here use these beautiful cones to make Christmas bouquets. They're sold for charitable causes. A really special tree for Holland...
