Ha ha. Yeah, well I likes me some paint too. But nature has complexity that we can't easily attain.

I'm not really into naked grain. I like "barely visible" grain like when it hsows thorugh Little on 50s style teles sunbursts and stuff. I did my Jazzmaster natural to please the wife for a while. Next time she pisses me off, though, OLIVE DRAB.

fuckkiiiiinnnnn, look at me, my name's mo, and I once hacked up a mustang body in robert's work shop, and that qualifies me to go about the place, demanding answers as to what people's reasons are for putting their pickguard and control plate where they have.
