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.

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...
