Lorenzo's been having trouble finding people to do the job *right*. Mine 
is a
chamberd spruce which a former finisher had dropped something onto, and 
rather
than fix the very small ding, he simply laquered over it... But it's a
wonderful, natural color. First time my wife's ever seen a guitar and said 
"that
looks nice". My four year old son was there when it came, and he looked at 
it
and said, "daddy, why did David Torn send you his guitar?" Trans-trem, same
pickup config as Kim's, but with standard electronics. And I'm running 
through a
Mesa Maverick, and, yeah, it sounds amazing. My two jammen are getting a 
workout
like they've never had before!!!

Right, back to loopage now.
