nice wall rtz, and quite a nice witch, which seems to have frets.  but i'll take a bet it plays hard to get, i'll try to forget having baguettes in corvettes; no triple threat like russian roulette.

jeez, it's late. seriously, my favorites are the ones in the photo. nice!  if i had to pick i'll take the far left and the far right

Yes Pick, everyone does want a fretful Witch. Beautiful Wall of sound RTZ.

Great bunch of gits.  So good I sat here and looked them each over two or more times.. Hard to pick a fave.  Maybe the tele and the short scale.  And the banjo type. 

I put 3 fret on my swampy and regret it a little bit.  It does let me do open D ADF# finger chords which is what I was after at the time I did it.  And it does make some GDG finger stuff  a bit easier, but the way Pick had the action, I could do that without frets.
