Yeah I took the faux wood sticker off first as it was feathering up a bit.. then I saw one with the pick guard removed and thought it looked a bit more ol’skool like that
@@JasonMckellMusicI did that, then I snipped off the tell tale Yamaha trademark red label pickguard-ness, and stuck it back on like a OOO. Cain't say I'm proud of that, but it looks cool. I've got a tortoise OOO lyin around here somewhere that's goin on'ere just because..
I've been AWOL a lil while - I went up to Atlanta GA for a 3 night run of Phish. Takes a lil longer recovery at this age and stage.... But welllll worth it! FS + yo finguz is sounding good, Brotha! Mine's really growing on me more and more despite their cheeeeezy pickguard decisions. "Dare to be different", I guess. Haha
Haha yeah I kinda feel like that.. it’s almost like the perfect 60’s cheesey thing to do.. put a bit of Lino on it.. it almost makes it better! A more authentic tribute to some of the bad taste of a bygone era
v.nice :)
