I just like the body style a lot more, and the Mapleglo is a classic finish, that works well with the toasters.
For sure. Slap some gold guards on it for added awesomeness.

Sell the lawn mower and edger. With two Ricks to play you won't have time for any of that yard work, anyway. :wink:

Nice JB!

That's a helluva combo, (for a 24 fretter), especially if it has the newer non-paddle headstock. Looks almost vintage!

Keep the one that plays/sounds better regardless of how it looks!

Finally made it here today, here are some pics:

A little bit of birdseye on the back. Overall, it's in mint shape with the standard little scuff on the edge of the headstock. I'm starting to believe the damn things are made that way.... :lol: Notice too how the stripe gets lighter on the one side when it reaches the body.

Whoever put the toasters on put rubber grommets instead of the ¼ inch pad foam so theres a gap between the pickup and the body. Anyone got a pair they can part with?

In case anyone still cares, I've decided to swap the toasters and keep the Midnight Blue. I love the MG too but that blue just gets to me. Plus I like the neck on the MID better too. (Thanks Eden, good advice). 8)

I may have just broke the tie. It's great to have such a problem isn't it?

I voted before reading the second page ... I had voted to swap the toasters into the MID. Great minds do think alike! :D :lol:
