"Thanks UJ", I do realise DGBE, or the Chicago Tuning is one your fave's, and I have been building and converting some of my builds lately to Std Tuning's, such as GBE & DGB etc, but!, at the moment I'm not all that happy with sound of this build in DGBE, have tried DGBD, and is currently tuned CGCE, not sure if it's the Pup, the String Gauges or all the Paint, but will try and persevere with it, the way it is at the moment, might try some heavier string gauges later, and tuning's such as open G or F, if that does eventuate, it will probably be renamed "The Texas Terror" :-D
"Thanks Poorness", great to see it has the stamp of approval from a Texan, despite the fact that I think the Flag on the back of the Git doesn't look quite right, it's either back to front, or the Star is upside down, something's amiss ?? :-D
Wonderful and happy geetar and a great use of that Texas plate. DGBE from you?? One of my fave and most versatile tunings. Plus you can go DGBD and slide to your heart's content.

"Thanks Dave", Texas is the 8th different US State LPG build I've done, don't think I'll get through the other 42 though :-D
"Thanks Denbo", the Lone Star State is long way from Yorkshire and Queensland :-D
"Thanks BQ", :-)
