Ah, details. It looks and sounds like it should be Italian.

For what it's worth, there's a pizza restaurant named Tutta Bella that claims to be licensed by the City of Naples or something like that, and it's four or five blocks from my house. It's nothing like the usual American pizza. That could be another stop in the north Seattle grand tour this summer.

Myth Buster.... Well there goes that belief... :D
Actually didn't know that. Pizza and Spaghetti....are we ok with those being Italian? :laugh:
It is funny when you find so many things originated in America, but by immigrants (or not at times), and was believed to be something from the motherland.

As I am discovering from spending time in Mexico, lots of what we consider Mexican food in the US is not what Mexicans actually eat. Tacos certainly are Mexican, but in the US unless you get those from a few specific places, they are nothing like Mexican tacos. There have been all kinds of claims about where pizza was actually invented. The really bizarre thing is that pasta was invented in China, if I remember right. Italy without pasta is not possible, but it was until 500 or 600 years ago. Same with potatoes being a New World staple that didn't exist in Europe until 400 or so years ago. I can't imagine Ireland or eastern Europe without potatoes.

Everything we know about food is wrong. May as well enjoy it and not worry about whether it's authentic to one place or another.

I do not like it on most things. It looks "normal" on old 3TSB Fenders and don't mind it on the white J, just because that's how they were. Other than that I'm not a fan, personally. Nor of 3TSB. But on some older instruments like Chuck's J, it looks normal and like it should. I would never buy one, unless it was killer deal and player. I've heard from studies, or a study, that orange is a much hated color, but my Fender Hotrod that is (California?) Sunset Orange is beautiful to me. Has it's own kind of tort-type pick guard that goes well with it.

Orange? Veronica's Lull is orange. Even if I didn't like orange before encountering that bass, I would be completely converted. It's the perfect Thunderbird. Given a choice between that Lull and a '64, I would take the Lull. More heresy, but what do you expect from me, anyway?
