I must add to the chorus, but find an appropriate word not used yet...how about "Astounding!"
Exclamation point is needed to emphasize the remarkable level of hipness and historic pulchritude you have achieved.
Seriously, looking forward to seeing the different models as you get them completed. Also, you are selling yourself short on the website by not including the '59 and '63 "Top of the Line" models. No question in my mind Semie has passed the torch to you.

Hi Ed,
will the RS Deluxe have a Mo'-style trem/vibrato available as an option?

Re: The New E.F.Elliott "RS Model" Guitars
Hi Strat-o-rama,
The "RS Standard and DeLuxe" come with a vibrato included in the price, they can be ordered with
the vintage aluminun stop tailpiece like on the "Student Model".In trying to keep that early Mosrite custom shop vibe I'm using the 1959 maphis style tremelo with the Fafnir aircraft bearings that screw directly into the top of the guitar, but no base plate or mistake plate, they don't do anything, going for a cleaner look.
On the Standard and DeLuxe I've re-designed the Aluminum bridge so it's adjustable on both sides for better intonation and I've inlayed a small piece of graph tech materal under each string so the strings glide a cross the notches, this eliminates string pinch and that chirping sound when using your tremelo, a common problem with solid aluminun bridges.
My goal is to build your main guitar, not just a guitar you use on Walk Don't Run and Pipe Line.
All the RS models are 1 5/8 at the zero fret with crowned frets, it gives you a litte more room for your fingers and easier string bending, but for the Vintage fan no extra charge for 1 1/2 nut and speed frets, going to be spraying a bunch of cool vintage colors like sonic blue, surf green,
coral pink, ect. And custom vintage style "Lucite" pickguards custom painted on the back side.
Well I better get back out to the shop and put'em into production.

It's the same tremelo as this but without the base plate
The bearings screw into the last set of holes.

Ed, thats a very beautiful guitar. I love the simplicity of the design!
How dare you presume to inject, using reproducible facts and rational thought, an on-topic discussion into a thread that had degenerated from sarcasm, personal invective, and hand-waving arguments?
