Whole lot of win in that post. The black one with the wear through the pirate flag sticker is pretty keen. Probably my favorite of the bunch would be the ambered LPB P bass. Love the bits of white undercoat popping through. Looks like foam in the ocean.

All of those pics are in my personal DISTRESSED file and were posted here at one time or another.

Looks great! I see you ditched the pickguard. Mine vibrated so it had to go.

Hey Ivan! Happy holidays!

Looks great! I see you ditched the pickguard. Mine was to vibrate so it had to go.

It gets taken off and put back on periodically depending on how I feel about it.

Hey Ivan! Happy holidays!

Hey Gio! Same to you!
