OMG is a relatively new exclamation in my experience, but I get your drift on the debauchery of one of the best later model steels that Rick made.
I really like the body style of the SW. Wish I had one.

OMG - Oh my god. Sorry if I offended, but I just couldn't believe someone hacked off half the shoe magnet material. Takes away half the strength and also the 3D pickup pattern. :roll:

Probably thought the shoe made it too hard to change strings....idiotic move. I'd be bidding on this one if it wasn't butchered....

It shows a lack of understanding of how the pickup works, or an attitude of not caring. Either way, maddening.
