SpondonBassed Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I agree. The grain seems to emphasize the depth of the colour coat. It looks like it's coated in a thick sauce. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 At first I thought you adjusted the pickup holes on the scratch plate with your teeth, but then I realised it’s just the protective film!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
