Congrats. Nice color!

Why did they put the strapbutton on the upper horn?

Putting it in the same place all the time gets boring. That applies to a lot of life situations.

Dang, that looks nice. I'd changed my order from a blue to burst one after I saw the larger photos. Now that I see yours, Scott, I'm tempted to switch back.

I have to say that my vacillation between colors is due solely to the black hardware. If that stuff was chrome or nickel, EITHER color would be just fine.

I've converted you at last!   ;)



I'm always happy when "The love that dare not speak it's name" comes up.........Bad pun  :rolleyes:

Looks great man! Just needs some chrome.  :mrgreen:

My Explorer pickups are wobbly as hell. I need to stick some foam underneath.

HoG just called me. Another blue one arrived today (going to Ohio, I think they said) with 10 more blue ones on the way from Gibson.
Gibson shipped two bursts which are due in next week. One of 'em is mine! All mine!

I find any insinuation about anal sex and Ritchie Blackmore grotesquely beside the G-point.

And he has children. Creationism has its inherent limits, you know.

Will you then spoil us with marriage ceremony pics or will you continue to tease us as the eternal bachelorette?
