Funny you say that...

I just can't stop playing this thing! As soon as I wake up I have to see it before I go to work, it's like I'm addicted to the thing. The sound is just incredible too, really nice clear cleans, and it dirts up spectacularly. Playing a gig on Saturday and I'm this as my main guitar :)

I can't remember this guitar's history....is it really aged factory orange comp? It looks kind of fiesta orangy from my monitor.

Either way it's a beaut

It was refinned black and the top horn had been hacked up, and the headstock had weird stains on it. DGNR8 did a pretty fantastic restoration jorb.
