Or maybe was just very well cared for. Though I own some guitars that have gigged and been dinged in the process, I won more than a few that have been gigged quite a bit and are still pristine. End of the gig, the first thing I do is get those babies shut tight in their cases... then tear everything else down.

Hmmm... that sounds a little too coincidental....

Ain't that the truth. All the earmarks of an inside job.

In my opinion Leo Fender had essentially perfected the guitar amplifier by 1964.

Think of it as just further establishing the fact that it's "your" guitar and not just another Fender. In 5 years, it'll have even more and sometimes y'ull find yourself looking at each ding and thinking back to the memories associated with each ding.

Nah, you have to raise it because it's a relic now.
