making me hungry nowI'm amazed that you understand that bowl of spaghetti!
I am equally amazed you can refinish guitars so beautifully and flawlessly….
I really like the T-Bird headstock because it's ornate as well as just looks cool.
I saw this '30's Martin headstock and was blown away how much it looks like a Fender.
BTW...that's 1830. Now Martin's have one of the simplest flat-top, headstock designs.

I used to have people say that to me often while I was working in telecom rooms/closets.I'm amazed that you understand that bowl of spaghetti!
I think what makes a Fenderbird look odd is the maple headstock. I think it's the light wood and not the shape that throws me--and is why George's doesn't look off in any way.It doesn't look like a Fender neck to me, Fender style, maybe he contoured it? I should ask him? I think I've insulted too many Fenderbird owners here already though.
This is getting out of hand and out of context! Can we tone this down? Where is a Mod when you need one anyway?I'm not sharing dresses or make up!
Suggestions, sure and I like all the Man love around here lately

Haven't you heard?, we mod ourselves now.
"ugly" is a subjective term
Some might consider my '63 Burns of London Vista Sonic 'ugly'... but certainly that wouldn't be me.

I still dig a lot of those 60s Wild Things! They make my heart sing!
It's a little awkward here, but I love you too.
It's only awkward if you let it be!
But the fact that you did! <3
See, I knew this would be awkward and even embarrassing. Now everybody knows....
And no, we aren't exchanging Valentines.
Yeah, that's still a couple of weeks out!
Will y'all stop with the gorgeous read basses?!?
At least it's across an ocean, which is my current spending razor wire.

Up to a point. Heart surgery still isn't on the recommended self-mod list.

Rudy's!!!!!
Around here, Rudy's means BBQ. I like the idea of combining that with a music store. Rock rigs that smell of BBQ? That'll bring the boys n girls to the yard!
I've always loved digging in, but am working on playing with low action. I'm finding I can still dig in to some extent; I just have to learn better control. That's a good thing.
Hmm. Ya may have hit on a perfect business plan.
The action on the Embassy is much lower than the action on my TBird(which is as low-not very-as I can get it w/o surgery). I'm not complaining, BTW.
Just realized: I can just say "my 'Bird" rather than "the 67NR" since I only have one('Bird, that is).
