OH NO!  innocent bystander struck by flying electronics!

Shortly after the guitar in a GIG BAG slipped out of my hand and whent "WHOCK!" onto a bolt that held my stand together.

And then there was the "fury of song wall attack" incident.

Aen - What model tele is that?  Is it a MIM 50's Tele?  In any case, it looks sweet... not unlucky at all.

Indeed.  I was always a 3 saddle bridge hater, and after having one, I realized I could conceivably live with it, but Id rather not.  Also, if you look at the saddles, you can see how the 6 saddles are pretty necessary for my tuning...

The shotgun you've chosen has interchangeable chokes (those 4 slots in each barrel are for a spanner) and the barrels are internally threaded at the ends. Good choice!  :P

Interesting. I read this line without seeing who posted it, yetI immediately knew who it was. I'm spending WAY too much time here ;).
