A lovely Jag so shiny that it's shooting lazergunz in my eyes. Make it stop.

I'm Jealous.

Although I'm not really a fan of the AVRI Tort.

I would just go for a decent Tort.

I only like Tortoise shell on Sunburst but it has to have some red in it and not look like it's screen printed, which is the stuff Fender is using these days.

pretty much everyplace has screen printed tort guards, i remember seeing somewhere that in italy there is a stock of authnetic tort, but its like 400 bucks a sheet or something crazy like that.

i just can't take any more tort sunburst
i ordered a mint green last week----- hope it looks ok
i like a different look
i always put a diff pickguard, stripes or a sticker or two on my sticks
but, day two and this guitar continues to impress
question is: will it surpass my jazzmaster as my number 1?

Yeah i know they're all screen printed, but some just LOOK screen printed.

yeah, true true, some you can actually see what looks to be digital pieces of poo floating around on a piece of plastic.

after closer inspection you win huge bro points with me for being the only other member on the board besides me with tapes laying all over the place.
