Andy, that's the nicest thing anyone has said to me all week! The guitar heater wasn't enough - I could barely get the little string balls over the damn tiny pegs on the faux-Bigsby with my cold stiff fingers (weren't they an Irish punk band?). Happily, I can now move out of the basement.
(Now you mention it, it does look like a mattress - it's actually a mover's blanket on a folding table).
