Someone who liked it a lot and either was fine with the team sticker or actually liked the team?
Bought nothin'! I built her from parts!!
Yep, curated, assembled and aesthetically-enhanced by Yours Truly, all save for some routing by my most-excellent local guitar tech.

Ahhh, I thought for some reason it had been for sale a while back and figured you'd scooped it up - couldn't remember who built it, though! Now I know! It stuck out in my head because it's one of my faves on TB.
ANYWAY back to the thread

Many thanks, Chess! And yes, you're correct. It had been up for sale about a year and a half ago when I was a bit cash-strapped. Fortunately, it didn't sell, which allowed me to make even more improvements, including the vinyl "inlay" stickers.
Speaking of "stickers" (and to help get things back on topic), if anyone is curious about them, I got them from an online seller going by the handle "JOCKOMO".
No!!! Stickers show a lack of respect for the instrument and the people that made it. I bought a Takamine 12 string once on which there has been a star stuck to the scratch plate and removed. However the star shape stayed visible like a ghost forever. Keep stickers for the cases not the instruments.
drool that is a stunner. Their lossAre you sure? 'Cuz mine has, like, nine stickers on it, yet somehow I think I'd get drummed out of a punk bar if I showed up with this.
I bought a 80s Gibson Flying V back in 2012 for 50 bucks. The thing was covered in stickers. Took forever to take them off, not to mention getting the residue off. But hey, 50 bucks.
Don't pass on everything cause of a sticker or two (dozen).

Call me old fashioned but I kind of agree. Its just tacky most of the time and I can count on my fingers how many times I've seen a sticker tastefully added.
I have tons of stickers on my.... cooler. On a bass case at one time I had one.
Put one on my bass and, after I'm done peeling it off, I'll put a big one on you, get in stuck really well, and then scrape it off with an old, rusty, half dull, half razor sharp, tetanous laden knife.

I staunchly defend anyone's right to be tacky to the same extent that I defend my right to laugh at them behind their backs.
