and if you are one of those people that don't like to play a sig. guitar.....they put it on the truss rod cover so you can take it off and replace it for about 50 cents

i always just figured that he had a speech impediment.
everyone sings differently.
hell, when the dude from Def Lepord sings hes like ROCK IT YEYEAHHH and you can understand him fine. but then when he is speaking i cant understand a fucking word coming out of his mouth.
if everyone sang the same way this world would be fucking boring.

I love the headstock, I hate the inlays.
I like the scratchplate, although I think it would look a lot better if the edges weren't so rounded, so that it would look even more like a jazzy ztyle of a thing.
