Me neither, but it does seem to work as the secret motto of large corporations.
Welcome to the forum, Alan!
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Welcome to the machine! Really cool Alan. Love the look. The etching on the PG is dynamite. I love the way it wraps the control knobs. LOVE the clear upper guard as well! Nice job!

I really like it but i am not sure how i feel about a bucker in the bridge...you don't want to lose the ricky jangle...there might be a hb out there that can cut it though.

I like my 620's bridge hi-gain as is, but if I was going to install a HB I would want to coil tap it with a push-pull pot switch so as to still be able to get a single-coil sound. I'm not sure how close a tapped Rick HB sounds to a hi-gain, but I would guess it is fairly similar. (Maybe someone who has one can comment).

I love the look of silver guards.

I had silver guards made for my Blueboy 365 WB, and installed a set of black/silver oven knobs.
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

Didn't/doesn't Big Red have silver guards, too?

Al...guitar looks good...but for me silver guards are always striking with a solid color.

I think the look of the pickguard/plate is rad. Is the upper one necessary to protect the aluminum or did you just want to add it?
