Nice!
 
(I'm still shocked about a band making money though..)

Congrats.
The very first thing I'd do is replace that plastic nut with a bone. A great time to have the nut action
set to your preference too.

Looks good!  What a deal you got!  Have fun.

I'll probably have this done during the first full setup....but it has to be done for sure.

Here's how that goes...

A musician is someone who puts $5,000.00 worth of equipment
into a $500.00 car to go to a $50.00 gig....

and comes away with $10 because it's a 5 piece band.
 
Then spends $20 on petrol gas to get home...

Hope you enjoy it Larry!
