Hey guys you know I was just joking, don't you?

I'm sure they know but you can't expect anyone around this place to ignore an opening (no pun intended) like that!  :mrgreen:

Bulls...? Flags...? Moi...? Come on guys, you know me...

Opps, nearly missed one...

Hole...? (and the woodpecker said gawd bless my sowl...)

Anyone heard of Knossos...?  They had a BIG bull there... :mrgreen: (we don't have a Mr Red but green is an opposite ;))

Minor set-up tweaks and the pots is all I intend to do - I know a sweet ride when I feel it... ;)

Gigging this one this weekend...

Only room for 4 strings at a time, Al... ;D

Bret, if I go for total stealth mode I'm going to have to play specially coated strings and image intensifiers... ;)

(mind you... I do go on about "feel" and "instinct"...) (do we have a ZENoticon...?)

Maybe he'll get so much black on it that he has to add those LED lights to be able to see the neck at all!

Thats why I suggested a flashlight! :D A headlight would fit best in this situation.

Wow Kenny, I wasn't paying any attention.  It turned out great.  I have a soft spot for the jazz shape, but most of them have sucky pups.  Yours turned out really sharp!
