Location: Seoul, Korea | What's the Willie Nelson joke? :confused: Is he known for something other than his raspy voice?
BTW, did not get the joke on the picture of the girl who looked intoxicated? Who's she? I think the post title was 'Free'. Been away from the U.S. too long, I suppose. |

I was also curious how a typical Collings pickguard would look against the mahogany. |

Really - I've pretty much made a living out of playing stupid. Ask anyone. |

Bra Clear Pick Guard - Don\'t be fooled by Imitations!
Yeah, they are ten bucks, but you get two and they are removable/reusable.
And you can see through them, and you can take them off. And maybe they will give me a free one for the plug :D |
