I keep hoping to show it to you in person!
"Do these pickups make my butt look big?"WTF!! WTF! WTF!!!
Just enjoy these great guitars you have, play some music and have FUN.
Going in for my "makeover" May 9. Can't wait 'til it is over. My arm and shoulder are killin' me, literally. Probably be gone for awhile, as post op therapy and treatment will be intense.
Until then, play yer freakin' guitars. Play with your pals. Go to a local open mic nite and sit in. Stop obsessing over 50's bursts and trying to transmogrify your perfectly fine guitars into something they can never be. There is way too much Barbie doll mentality around here and it is getting to be ridiculous.
Spend yer dough making your axe play and sound better and quit freakin' out over cosmetic bullshit that some of you are fixated on because you've seen some picture in a book, somewhere. There are so many fine and wonderful guitars that are not Bursts or some cosmetic clone. I swear the cork sniffin' anal wannabe self appointed fashion gurus make me want to play Fenders only.
Get back to the FUN!!! Make your own statement and enjoy what you enjoy. Quit asking for a group hug with every decision. Jeez!! "What color should I paint my guitar?", "What color bobbins? or should I leave the covers on?", "Is this tailpiece OK, fellas?", "Do these knobs look the right shade?", "Are my inlays OK, or should I replace them?" " Hey! Does this top look authentic enough?" "Do these pickups make my butt look big?"WTF!! WTF! WTF!!!
Yeah, I am in pain, I am tired and scared, and my mood sucks right now, I know I am a miserable bastard but all this crap I have been reading isn't helping my mood at all.

Good Luck with this thing Al, sending you all the best from England. :salude
Paul.
I wish you the best too Big Al. I worked with some pediatric oncology staff during my years at a major west michigan hospital. Dedicated, caring and damn good at what they do. I hope your caregivers are at their level.
Peace
