"Thanks Bob", just part of the quest to building something different, and good idea about the Satin Black Copper Combo, I did spray a Neck once with Black & Gold, but never thought to give my nuts a spray to make them look pretty ;-D
"Top" notch AGP! Great theme and brilliant use of materials. I have sprayed some of my nuts (the fretboard type) with a mix of satin black and copper to suit certain builds.
Well, good for you on losing weight and trying hard. It does help a 'ton' to cut back on the alcohol. My weight was very good all summer and has climbed back a bit lately. Happy today to be just a few ounces above the acceptable point. Will try to get there soon. I feel better with less fat. Hope you do too.
"Thanks UJ', another one crossed off my Builds To Do List, and Linda is right, I have been a big boozer all my life, but having said that, I have been very very quiet on the Drink for the last 3 months, in order to lose some weight (9kg/19.8lb so far), and get a few medical issues in order, ie., High Cholesterol, Blood Pressure & Diabetes, which according to yesterdays bloods report, has worked.
Like Linda my better half Lynette, also likes this one, but wasn't happy with the Nuts & Threaded Rod Bridge, which was originally just the plain galvanised colour, she suggested I spray it with some Gold Paint, which I did, and as much as I don't like to admit it, she was right !!! ;-D

Good One Pick, the Missus never uses those words, but there's usually a bit of noisy door closing going on when she thinks its too loud ;-D
