got this yesterday. i have been working in a used guitar shop for about 6 months now... this came in and as i was testing it out to make sure it was functioning, i just really connected with it. had to have it. so it is mine now. i am ordering a surf-90 for the neck and a vibrato. gonna be a real rock-a-billy guitar in the near future. loving how it sounds unplugged.

Working in a used gear place sounds dangerous.

I've been to one World's Fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing i ever heard come out a pair of headphones.

Oh cool, I didn't know you were working at a guitar shop, that must be pretty great? Do you have to hear too many people come in and "shred"?
I finally finish building a guitar, go to play it, and then remember, "oh yeah, that's right. I suck at playing... Why did I build another guitar again?"

it seems to be hard to receive a full paycheck. some part is usually going towards pedals or parts or guitars.

it is super fun and good coworkers. not too many shredders thankfully.

Some white / cream chickenheads would look nice on that.

I went with cream amp knobs on mine:

I replaced the original overwound pickups with standard output pickups, still plenty hot, but not so harsh.
