Nah.... But playing a Zymol-scented guitar sure is! Image

One of these days I've gotta give my Jetglo 330/12 and my 325 a good Scratch-X and Zymol treatment.... I wanna see 'em shine like Pretty Purple does. Actually the face of the 325 looks nice, but the back has an area of fine buckle scratches from its previous owner. And neither one of those two has any hint of Ric-o-smell left....

Think I just came up with a name.... "Blueburst Baby" or, if it works for playing the blues, it can be "Bluesburst Babe!"

I've said it before, I don't normally name my guitars, but these refins are so special they deserve to have names, LOL! Image

...so "Baba Bluey" just doesn't cut it, hey?

Ummmm....no. I think it would sound funny with my Minnesota accent, LOL!

How does it sound, Paul? I'm really, really curious about this one!

I'm still dialing in the setup. Haven't even plugged it in yet. Hopefully Monday, maybe sooner.

I'm trying to come up with a name, Melibee.... so far my thoughts have all been a bit banal (that's a 'b' in front, fellas!!) and somewhat 'twee'. I'll keep working on it.... Image

Hey Paul, have you had a chance to plug it in and put it through its paces yet? I'm really curious about this one.... Anticipation! Image

Melissa, I still have a final touch-up on the fret levelling, and I do have to shave the neck pocket a bit to get the action just right. Then I'll plug it in and spend an hour or two with it. Probably tomorrow night.
