    lol I haven't played that card yet due to the dangerous nature of her clothes/shoe acquisition syndrome but I fear that may be the only path ahead....

    It's greatly inspired from Gavin Turner's blue STA1 who won the GOTM last year. Thanks heaps Gavin for your build diary, it helped me no end for this first build.

    well done Fred this is a really well finished axe and the upgrades are tasty. The gold hardware really suits the black and blue theme.
    Does that tremelo cover have a part that pops off so you don't have to unscrew the whole cover ?

    Yes it does. There's a trapeze shaped piece that comes out and allows to change strings and adjust springs without unscrewing the cover at all.
