Welcome to the crazy ranch 😀
The Epi headstocks are in need of modding so I say go nutz!
I have a Epi Thunderbird and my biggest gripe, (after those stupid three point bridges) is the 20mm of poly finish on the neck...
I was going to sand it off until I discovered they didn't do many reverse silver bursts in my model.
One day I will get around to building a new neck for it, minus the speed humps.
