We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

 It's a beautiful color, the black is ok..........

It would be stunning with chrome, we all know it!

FWIW I'm seriously considering a refin for my black '77 and was thinking of the shade of blu or a blue burst, Marty Bell's prices are really good so perhaps sometime soon. ;)

Marty is so backed up and busy. Just called him the other day about doing a checkerboard on my Hamer T Bird 8 string. He said to call back in November. He was busy a few months ago. He does a quick turnaround...2 weeks....affordable prices...But it's Polyester. No urethane and absolutely NO NITRO LACQUER.

It just takes a heat gun or hairdryer to melt the glue and remove the shiny caps.

Hey!

The great 'Murrican theory is that more chrome is always good!

I'm rather aghast as I've just googled the toxic effects of chromium (not Joe) :vader:

According to the US EPA:

"Chromium (III) is essential to normal glucose, protein, and fat metabolism and is thus an essential dietary element."
