Me neither, but it does seem to work as the secret motto of large corporations.
Welcome to the forum, Alan!

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.

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.

Very cool "Zemaitis touch"!

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?

Late as ever, I am... awesome customisation, Alan!
