Kirk was serious???  Just when I had a flock of flying pigs soaring overhead!  Take care, Gary

 I can't really see the point since model 20s with the so called "Deluxe" cabinet are not that hard to find, plus as Mike stated I don't think you could cover up those scrolls cut into the front panel of the flat faced earlier version. I'm not sure if he reproduces them as yet but Steve Davis may plan to in future.
