Friday was NGD! (Pics and a question)

[Solstice]

Nice!
Btw, do those rusted bolts on the back of the neck correspond with fingerboard inlays or are they just randomly painted there?

Hmmm.... I hadn't really noticed, but I'll check it out.

By the way, I bought this because I've decided to start playing country. Someone told me that I needed a "steel guitar," so I complied.

I'm getting concerned, though. It really doesn't sound any more twangy than my other Jacksons.
