Stove with an extractor hood makes for a very effective solder station in a house with an overactive smoke alarm.
Took some natural light photos:
The guard's weird - looks really pronounced in the photos, no way near so contrasting in real life. It's the one part of the guitar I'm not sure of though; might speak to him and see what I could clean it off a bit with. If it comes to it, it's just an Allparts guard so I could replace it.
Well, they're both pretty big, and they've utterly fucked up my frame of reference for other guitars; it's maybe a little deeper than the GS (it's very much 1" all the way up with no taper - the GS is slightly shallower at the nut), and is more C shaped the the GS's D - the fretboard edges arerolled a little bit. Also, the nut is lovely and wide without feeling like a classical guitar. They're different enough that I'll play the both, which is a relief - I was aware when I got the GS that I was buying Gibson's tele equivalent, but that as a fan of teles, there would be another one in my life sometime in the future.
