Yep, but lose the gold hardware...it's toooo much. The gold pickguard needs cold-hard, shiny chrome to look right. Otherwise, it's sort of like a sepia photograph...you lose the real-life feeling; it's too tan all over.

I really like those Musicmasters, they're so simple. Reminds me of my esquire. Dig

I wonder who ever thought gold hardware was a good idea. It lacks any practicality whatsoever, wearing off far too quickly with any regular use. My poor Mary Kaye Stratocaster is a vivid example of this. Argh.
