That's cause Billy looks like a NJ rail car w/. graffiti. 
:
and my sis has a few she's been hiding from Dad for a few years. It is what it is. I guess it's a don't judge a book by it's cover kind of thing. I know a lot of people the resemble that NJ rail car w/. graffiti, most of them, I would not trade for nothing. That was a good one BTW!
An action shot would be great Vince! Gotta love pics of the kids making music, that's as good as it gets IMO. Rosie is definitely "interested" in the guitar, as we have an acoustic in our living room, but she actually strikes me as more of a drummer really...kind of a bull in a China shop. She has messed around with the guitar as much as a 3 1/2 year old girl can, but really seemed to do well when she sat behind her uncle's drum set (my future ex-brother-in-law is a phenomenal drummer, he is absolutely the best drummer that I've ever played with...hope to keep that friendship alive)....
There was some movie about or called "August Rush" where a little boy layed the guitar down and played it by tapping on it I believe...Rosie likes to re-enact that by taking our acoustic and beating the **** out of it!

That's good stuff Billy. I always show the the wify your pic's of Rosie and some others you have shared. I can totally picture it! Love the bull in the china shop image! I appreciate the pic's you and others share with us. Kid pic's are some of my favorites and it's great to see a kid having fun. Got to love kids for what they are!(insert bull in the china shop image here)

A most thorough reply. Thanks a bunch. 
I've played me Dbl Cutaway very little, & yet I believe it's the pot that went out. Like said, I've much to learn. Anyway, it'll play, then I hit treble switch, & IIRC, sound dimishes from when new or it did somethin funny. Pop or static maybe, I need to pull it out again to descibe better. All I know is, it's not right & had a short service life.
I think I have the 490T & 498T pickups in my DC, sound right?
So my thought on chambered is correct. Old school are hefty, hence no chambers.
Everyone wants old school sounds w/. today's reliability. So they go seek old guitars, amps & wah-wahs.
I'd love to learn some more, maybe we can talk sometime on some of this stuff. I appreciate what I've learned thus far, u have a way to explain to common folk like me w/o losing me. 
I gotta turn in.

here's more pics, strat with a 57' reissue bridge(A must upgrade!), rio grande mue grande pickups, camel bone nut, jumbo fret job, and a lucky find vintage 70's pickgaurd that is new old stock. oh and the last pic of the serial number is a fender flaw. they put a 1999 number with a 1990 prefix. kinda rare.

no problem man! I like to share what I have learned over the years. as a hobbiest I can play with different things to get different sounds unlike a pro that has to have his rig up and running at all times. my guitar luthier is a reginal (southern) rep for paul reed smith, and has been working with guitars and playing in bands since the 70's maybe 60's.

cause the pics would load so slow if they didn't have cable i-net. zi tried to make enjoyable w/. many views. Some things have to be seen in person, cause the tops are phenomenol, better than pics appear.fast rt, PRS is the only Electric I may still add to the pile 1 day. SO much $, but oh so sweet. Blends Fender & Gibson tones. Your avatar finally made sense sometime last night, duh!
About truck guys like u into guitars. I tried to get something different / unique on every guitar, even if I might not know how to get those sounds out yet. It's why I have LP DC, the Lone Star Strat is designed to be a Fender but w/. humbucker Gibby sound. Tele. And so on.
That serial # makes it neat fo sho.
The things these guys come up w/. now.
IDK if ya noticed the Strat LE (it's the lighter blue matching headstk 1), but it has the S1 switching. The have more tech ideas like this all the time. So many cool ideas, so many cool axes, how can u pick just 1? I know I can't.
