Maybe that is why we can't see the headstock in the photos but I believe this is what the look like(below).

They're a little ugly.. The pink paint just doesn't seem right. I don't know.

Definitely not for everyone. The Pink Paisley debate is the IRL version of the Antigua debate (nobody actually admits hating Antigua IRL when you surprise them in bed at 4am with a leather mask/german techno blasting, very interesting...)

Burn the South.
