ha ha ha. i hear ya dude...but really, i just like to see different shit, and it's okay to see different shit from time to time.
Frankly with a black guard and some chrome on it... I think it'd have a cool 60's/70's vibe to it.

Seriously though... look at my taste.
hahaha. fuck that dude. i'd kill to own the frankensonic.

For all I know, youse should be speaking in the past tense now about that atrocity. Given when I had dropped the thing off at the shop last week, it's at least completely stripped of the placenta burst and paper film by now...and down to bare wood.

Get over it. :wink:

DEATH PLACENTA

Haha, so much for cheap thrills, as everything phailed big-time on this one.

This just in: A whole three months after committing the ill-fated placenta burst to being refinished in black, I finally get a call from the shop only to hear that the darn thing cracked in three places while being chem-stripped, and that it's not worth reassembling/gluing up for usage (Like, DUHH). So there you go, no luck in building a guitar for my friend out of the guitar that never was, or was intended to be, so a handful of friends and I just decided to throw some cash together and just go to Willows to have a well-built "Jonny Greenwood" Telecaster Plus clone w/kill switch assembled for him instead (should run about $300 to do), minus Lace pickups. He being the biggest Radiohead fan I've ever met, I'm sure it'll be a better in the long run idea than trying to salvage a mechanically disjointed afterbirth for a friend.

Ta-da, so I guess we can all look forward to the Jonnycaster gracing the thread in a month or so. :wink:

Better name for a band.

PS I have a snapshot of Louise/Mile's placenta, it's a real bit of gore.

FYI: If you have your baby at home, don't get to caught up in the new baby excitement and leave the placenta in a bowl for 2 days, becasue it starts to get smelly and attract varmints.

Haha, thanks for the warning.

It's like a continuation of that conversation we prematurely (non pun intended) ended in Liz's car after arriving at Fredos from the AlBQ, and glad you didn't bring it up then. LOL good times vibes memories.
