:shock:

I was at that same guitar show and was crushed when I came across the butchered mustang. Can't believe you got it to where it's at now. Nice work.

It looks like relly good placement, but it does like pretty fresh. I'd rub some dirt and tobacco in the scuffs. Hey, it works on Great Destroyers!

Looks good to me. Those white pup covers are dope.
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

Give us some more pics in good light, please! Looks fabulous.
Fantastic save job.

I personally would have left the Chrome as it was but it looks seriously nice anyway
