And all of them will be masters of the genre they're aping :D

I hate to say it but X-Ray Spex's example is far less offsensive to my eyes. It's at least even, even if overzealous. That CIJ looks like it was relic'd by a Roomba with sandpaper on the wheels.

Ooh! Way cooler than the original, even with the Strat trem. And I'd like to go on record here saying that I infinitely prefer the Bronco-style pickguard and wish they'd also updated the Mustang with one.

I saw a guy selling a Jaguar neck on eBay, so I checked in and asked if he was going to sell the body too - looks like I got another patching project!

...now I gotta get a couple chunks of alder...

Man. I look forward to seeing the "after" photos on that guy. If I could perform transformative feats of resto-magic like that, I feel like I wouldn't even need to actually play music as an artistic outlet.

No licensing to have kids or buy power tools, think off all the damage that could be averted otherwise in this world

There is licensing for driving a vehicle and yet I'm sitting here in excruciating pain because somebody drove into the rear of my vehicle without even attempting to stop and then yelled at me that I wasn't paying attention. Image

And there's some level of insurance because of that (or at least, there's supposed to be) and there's supposed to be some minimum amount of skill to obtain that licensing.
