Racer X, this is as close as it's gonna get to a formal invitation to post up pics of your fiddle.

It's a beautiful piece, no doubt!  :supz:







Hopefully when he's comfortable removing his training wheels he'll get a Jackson. Zing!

Ouch. I never liked Les Paul's, the neck drops too much when I let go of it and I always hit the damn toggle switch. Damn fine sounding instrument, I'm just used to Fenders.

I do love me some SG's though.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I think the General preferred the cello-he locked up enough people to need a big one.
