Ha ha no worries! Alas this guitar was only meant to be in my life for a season.  A guy made me an offer I could refuse and I let her go. Another excuse for a new Warmoth build lol

Ian/Mark thanks for the words. Kids and fam are great. Wifey already knew she married an ape. I won’t prove her right again lol.

You are creating some very uncomfortable fetishes here!  That looks amazing!

Rad like Brad.

What up Tony!  You run out of that machine gun grease yet lol? Just bought the Hipshots. Pumped.

Ha I just so happen to have both in my shopping cart. Ty
