Jeez John you could have warned us.

I've been having trouble with my eyes (or maybe its my my glasses) lately and I thought for a minute that something had gone terribly wrong LOL

That must be a slanted fret model. I have never seen one before. Are they hard to play?

Those frets aren't slanted. It must be your eyes after all!

Oh, I see what you're talking about. The body is twisted!

That was the very limited version that came with a special edition of the game Twister.

Outstanding Darren. Thanks also for the home and garden tour, with the final finish in the driveway. All gorgeous photos.

Is that an original slant-hood Dodge pickup?

Paul,

Nah, it's a Holden Commodore SS - the Aussie equivalent of a GM Pontiac with a 350 Chev under the hood.
