The most compliments I've had were about a home-grown "stealth" Esquire I whipped up recently: Black on black with cream binding and a maple neck with a neck p'up hidden under the pickguard.
I have not read all the posts here, so I'm winging like usual. I think maybe I need to get in some church band to help sort my life out. What is it like to play in a church band? I recall doing rehearsals at a church in Valdosta GA (they let us use the PA for practice) and an ol gray haired woman (like I am now)
asked us where we went to church on a regular basis; when she got to me I said "I don't go" which was the truth, and the other band members laughed their buts off at seeing the expression on the ol ladies face.
