Ok you got me. The pic is photoshopped but the Paragon 59', currently in production, is due to be out in February 2012.
I have a soft spot for original Bursts and wanted to pay tribute to those amazing instruments.
The Paragon 59 takes all of the details of the most famous set neck guitar ever built: The top carve, Long tenon neck joint, Body shape, correct routing for pickups and control cavities, Correct neck shape, Correct Headstock Angle and most importantly correct Woods and Materials, and dresses it in Paragon Clothes.

The company that invented that Setneck instrument from the late 50's can't seem to get it right, but I can. Check back often for updates.
