:lol: - yep, you're the "tall one" of my post :D

I don't see this curly lead thing as that controversial myself. (I did laugh out loud when I saw the "because it's the wrong colour" though... :lol:)
:D

I was once told by someone who knows about colours and things to keep to black and white for a cool on stage look. I've stuck to that and worked for me so far. Usually I just that now for the big shows, which don't happen so often.

I think it would be cooler if it was black-over-sunburst.

I really like those "double finished" relics.

relative. it's just one guitar worth :)

9K€ is probably what the Stones' studio costs in a day or two, and I'm sure they take a few months to produce a CD.

I don't like Strats either but, I just saw Joe Bonamassa Rockpalast 2005, "Blues Deluxe" and for the first time observed a valid reason for the location of the Vol knob... my Strat has a dummy in this position, going to have to wire it back to normal and try this volume swell technique...

No, I meant it like he was going to buy, y'know.... a CD.  They're usually about £7.99.....

Bad joke, sorry.
