Er... I was joking. I presumed that seeing as your tone has to be perfect, you'd wash your hands to get rid of all the bad tone you might have on them, but the fact you do it for a sensible reason is pretty flabbergasting. I would never do that mind, I love my dirty strings, it gives me a darker tone.

i think multi piece bodies can sound ok.
they are alot different than i would prefer, with a single piece i feel that you get more from the guitar and less from the pups.
when you throw actice pups in with a wierd metal nut and a floyd rose then i feel that thats where the sound comes from, and there is no real wood expression at that point.
altho that sound is still a good sound to some, im not a fan of it.
icey, that guitar is awsome, even if i hate it.

Those guitars are ugly. That's not what I look for in a guitar, sorry.

And Icey, you need some pickup rings on your new guitar. The routes are too big.

Aye, my strings never go rusty, but not washing your hands before you play = gross sticky neck and manky strings, you weirdos.

Seriously Malik... why are you giving him shit for washing his hands before playing his guitars? You wouldn't wash your hands before playing a $3000 custom maded guitar? You're the one who's fucking crazy! I usually don't take the time to wash my hands right before I play guitar unless they I just ate or worked out or did something to make them dirty. I go to the bathroom a lot and wash my hands everytime so my hands are usually always clean. I do make sure to wash my hands before I play my Taylor everytime though, because it's a fucking $1600 guitar and I want to keep it looking and feeling nice, not getting it all gunked up by playing it with chocolate on my hands ralph wiggum style.

I tried to find a picture of Ralph playing with bart's toys with the chocolate posicle in his hand but couldn't find one so I'll just quote him instead:

"Your toys are fun to play with, my toys are all sticky... I dropped my popstickle in your toy chest."
