The tuners are taking a hell of a lot longer to ship than I expected. Oh well, I don't care because this thing is STUNNING! I also don't care how long they take to get here, considering I got an amazing deal for a set of Gotohs.

Yes, it is wired up now, and yes I did it myself :D

Also, I decided to switch from mint green to 1 ply white.

Of course. And SA, the tuners are from the south. Whenever I buy something from the south it takes FOREVERRRRR.

My fingers have never been so twitchy with anticipation. And a friend and I jam together at lunch now. We drew in a crowd of about 20 today 8) I can't wait until I get to break this thing out. Also, I was asked to play with my teeth, so I did actually did well. No slip ups. The kid said he posted the video he took on Facebook. If I can find it I'll link you guys.

I dunno, the tip does have some weird coloring to it. it has a few dark spots. Doesn't effect the way it feels, so it doesn't matter.

I sort of couldn't resist... I held the body, while plugged in over my Tele's strings. (Yes, it works) I just strummed. Simply amazing.
