What is the finish color of your Preacher? When you say the neck "went sour", what seems to have gone wrong? -Steve W. | ||

These guys can affirm that I'm a Butcher and only good for making sawdust. Sometimes they even assist! It had a Nintendo Controller superglued to the face. It turned out pretty nice despite our efforts! | ||

In hindsight, it probably wasn't a good idea to let me scrape off the Nintendo Controller with a sharp object that weekend. We need to have another NWOFC Gathering!! | ||

I have necks but you need to match the color scheme of what you have. And as per our PM chats, this may help as well. Pictorial Nut Adjustment Album And here's a teaser | ||
