Can't speak for you, John, but Trotty's now got shorter hair, paler legs and a few more Rick acoustics! :twisted:

The fretboard inlays on the MG look a tad wider than those on the FG.

The soundhole on the FG is closer to the fretboard.

That's it, I'm never wearing shorts again. I clearly recall the day that photo was taken, as I was already self-conscious about showing my legs. Little did I know that photos and Youtube video would come back to haunt me again and again. I've had about 5000 hits on the Youtube clip, no doubt from people all over the world, laughing at my knees and lack of tan. Oh, the humiliation and shame of it all! :oops: :lol: :oops:

Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm off to the solarium and leg waxing parlour. I don't want to show up at MARF next month with my pasty post-winter complexion, when I'll be surrounded by you northern hemisphere summer-tanned Village People leftovers! Oh, yeah, and Graham. :mrgreen:

Don't worry Trotty, the Brits are ALWAYS the whitest. We are still researching what this "Sun" is that everyone else keeps talking about. :shock:

"Village people leftovers??????" That's pretty funny!!!!! :lol: :lol:
