OK on
the RRF and Emma decided to enhance my lugs.Its at this time i need to do something constructive.
Ok time for a restring on
the 620/12 im using.Ok folks ive taken off all
the strings and cleaned down with bleach,shoe polish and a stiff brush.(im into detail and boot polish is great on
the frets.

Paul W gave
the idea but told me not to tell anyone so dont use it unless he tells ya)
Ok this restring is boring i need a chillax. Dont overdo its a 12 for goodness sake! I recommend a good quaity Rum `n` coke

Ok heres a good one id recommend
Right time for a read of something light and a quiet moment while
the kids run riot.
Right meanwhile back at
the Kitchen i find that a good packet of Jaffa cakes keeps
the guitar in perfect balance.

Good thing you showed
the bottle of Rum, Scotty, initially I thought you were drinking from that bottle of bleach. (Then again, who's to say you didn't add a jigger).

Cheers Jerry! I was thinking paint stripper to clean
the grime cause
the bleach is just not hitting
the mark!

you could always fill
the bathtub with 3 gallons of water 4 gallons of bleach and 2 gallons of gas or petro in your neck of
the woods mix it all up and let
the 620 soak for about 24 hours that should do
the trick
