I want an ash KNS in dragon burst on AAA-grade quilt maple lam-top for 60% off. No, no, Aaron, don't get up. I'll show myself out.

I actually do have that koi strap, along with a few more of their graphic fabric straps. I selected them based on the theme of the guitar they're going on. :)

They are mahogany, so I suppose that would also be a factor in weight & balance.

Data: And for a time, I was tempted by her offer. Picard: ....how long a time? Data: 0.68 seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.

In moments like this, stupid AI art is really fun.

Gamera.

You know I would totally get this on an Arcade neck.

How's your relief?

I've seen the turtle neck plates out in the wild, but I have a strong suspicion that they're very much in the "bootleg" category. And by "strong suspicion," I mean "they're totally violating WM's IP." Since I have big doubts that WM licensed the use of the turtle to some no-name company that...

Better than deliberate relic. #ISaidWhatISaid
