5 Days...

I was wondering if the so-called nickel hardware would outlast the one of my regular LP. Well, I did beat my record, and by a long shot.
 
I brought the guitar home last Thursday, but didn't really get to play it until Friday night - not taking into account the fact that I spent quite a bit of time adjusting and testing and re-adjusting and fine-tuning. And kept on wiping the strings and the hardware all the time.
 
Anyway, as of tonight, after a 4 or 5 hour session of intense playing, I've already burned the finish on the bridge studs. It is gone
 
The cool thing is that the satin finish on the back of the neck seems to be improving all the time and I absolutely love the way it's turning. Smooth but w/ texture.
 
I'm starting to think that I could probably boost a car battery with my bare hands... Maybe Fender or Gibson should hire me to take care of the aging process on their guitars.

    So you're actually supposed to play the guitars???  Ohhhhhh...
    Apparently, I've been doing it wrong.

    (I believe "Depeche" is the sound a turd makes when it hits the water.  I could be wrong however...)

    You must ensure this power is never used for evil purposes. If the govt finds out you'll be off to area 51 for an extended vacation.

    Careful ... as long as it is not "WITH" Rain! ... that could be a rather ... well ... bad ... experience!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
