Leo seems more interested in good looks than in what's really at the heart of a guitar - typical guitarist - so I'll tart it up for him before Halifax. I think the photos show that it's not really been polished properly yet so I'll take it apart and polish it to a high degree. Then it'll be a beautiful white elephant and worth praying for.

Guitars are like cars - I don't need to know how they work, just as long as they work (by which I mean 'make the noise I expect them to make')  |

... a slightly edited version of your post Rob -  Leo seems more interested in good looks than in what's really at the heart of a guitar - typical guitarist - so I'll tart it up for him before Halifax. I think the photos show that it's not really been polished properly yet so I'll take it apart and polish it to a high degree. Then it'll be a beautiful white elephant and worth paying for. |
