Oof. Somebody in the 80s thought that thing was going to look cool for ever. The decade o' brass.

I've got a gallon of that paint left over from painting an old John Deere lawn tractor...I think he used a roller, judging from this photo:

Unless it's the lighting, it looks a tad dark for JD green. Although, a John Deere green Rick would look OK with my little tractor:

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Reminds me of Tijuana...gaudy, like it'd be hanging on a wall in some place in TJ, or off the shoulder of a bassist in one of the clubs down that way.

Doesn't look like anything that couldn't be changed back to stock without too much trouble.

...Except that he's sanded off the binding and rounded the edges off "a lá McCartney". So it'd be a fake S.

The binding being rounded is the "good" part to me . If I had $$ I'd have it done S style for sure.
