Some pics of my battle worn So-Cal

[maltomario]

It occurred to me that I hadn't taken pics of my so-cal in quite some time. The neck has gotten a beautiful worn in look, and some staining which is hard to see in pics. Anyway, thought you guys would enjoy.







Here's a vid of my gigging it Friday night. It now reeks of cig smoke since in PA apparently people still smoke in bars/clubs.

Great looker!
I thought those came with a single ply PG (I don't like that "feature").
Correct me if I am wrong.

The body color has grown on me.

Cool guitar and great pics, but that's the tidyest looking 'battleworn' guitar I've ever seen

Yeah, I've managed to keep it in decent shape even after 50+ gigs. I try to take as good care as reasonably possible of my guitars. The frets are starting to wear slightly (i play with a light touch) and its got a huge gouge in the back above the trem route which is hard to see from that angle. Blood stain on 1st fret from when I had a gig a few hours after I gave myself a huge paper cut on my fretting index finger from one of those plastic packages like headphones come in. boy I earned my pay that night and every minute was painful.

Yeah it's not really battle worn. No worn on it yet lol. This is my main axe for the last two years now, and she's still pretty clean, but she looks like a broken down Buick Regal compared to your Hot rod looking axe .



Btw you're singer looks like that dude from Mythbuster. He should grow a mullet - he'd look more the part
