seeing those put on the dirty ground kills me alittle inside

I'm too late for the punch line.

I was gonna say, doug has done such a shining job on these 3 guitars, I would fully expect the ground in his yard to be a lot cleaner than your average yard!

Maybe cleaner than your average shop.

You'd think so! Last year it was, this year... not so much. In the midst of major rework of our back yard but for some reason my "free weekends" keep being eaten up by guitar projects.

I hope theresa DOES garden as much as she says she will, Im NEVER ripping out rose bushes every again. :mad:
