Since no one asked, I'll tell you about this one. In 1992 I needed a bass in a hurry and bought a cheap PROFILE. The action was too high even with the saddles lowered all the way so I took a couple of obsolete 50p pieces and used them as a shim. It sounds and plays great. The cost to do the job? One quid. The great resulting feel of the instrument, priceless. Also it used to be red and I DON'T like red guitars so I removed the colour and just had it in its grey primer for a couple of years. Because I couldn't decide a colour to apply, I just used all of them.

Some more of my stuff. Here's a 1960 Schwinn Corvette I restored from a pile of rust. Inside the magazine rack up front is a June 1960 Playboy magazine the same month and year the bike was manufactured.

I meant to post pics of your guitars but whatever. It is a party.
We are, however, going to need a closer look at that Playboy......

Hi Dennis, yes I have a few. Jakob Dylan, Nokie Edwards, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Lynyrd Skynyrd (signed by all 9) at the Nashville Funfest in 2005. Since then Billy Powell, Ean Evans, and Hughie Thomasson have passed on. And also a John Lennon Gibson EJ-160-E that use to belong to Sammy Hagar. Here's my Dick Dale strat that I built being inspected and signed by the MAN himself as I look on.
