I did the same when I was rebuilding my tele.

There is something liberating about it. I can understand why EVH might have done it that way.

You always raise your game when it comes to making Teles as ugly as possible. When I think you can't top yourself, you do something that makes me say "wow, that's even uglier than before".

It's prehistoric news, but Cindi's original MIM took funk-stained choco drops to the extreme when the cobalt(?) blue finish was removed. We mildly miss it, yet may raffle off the now-VWH body to a creative ss.org builder sometime in the future, maybe as soon as early next month...

"Revenge of the nineties" Does that mean we're being invaded by an army of dudes with baggy pants and long hair that's kinda buzzed underneath bumbling through the opening sequence of "come as you are"?
