Yeah, the white isnt bad, but it would look really hot with a pearl on there.

Everybody should read your advice, then ignore it, or do the complete opposite.

You totally need to post more pics! And get the pearly. It's an obvious fetish of mine. It's the nicest use of plastic ever. The Duo I just got HAD ONE WITH IT. My eyes must have lit up like lazers. I don't think he saw them light up. We men get all that good practice leering at boobs without people noticing.

BTW, speaking of ebay--if anyone ever deals with Mill Creek Vinny, they are FIRST RATE. I have had several good experiences with them. I also like and have dealt with Bluesjay, Peanutlady, and what's his name--Rodsguitars? I think that's right. These have all been good SS sources. But Mill Creek has been exceptionally helpful.

soo.....its been a busy week and the GFS attack rages on. I got a new pickguard for it, caved and got the pearl. I loves it. I took a Bronco knob from my friend's fender blender and slapped it on there along with a chicken head. I ordered a Dream 90 for the bridge but they're currently backordered. Next plans for this one: white peg Gotoh vintages, a musicmaster bridge and a lipstick for the neck position.
