The wife's rule has slipped up a bit. But, I'm not sure she knows that.
B2D, you either love the refin seam or you hate it. It's pretty much one way or the other. Considering what it is "supposed" to be, I love it. The damn thing is just one heck of a player. I'd have rather had a little off center, ala the one the ledzepp29 has to be honest. I think his looks better than mine in that regard. Depending on the angle, the top seam shows up or doesn't. The cool thing is that when you are playing it, not that Iv'e played live anywhere in 6 months, but your arm pretty much covers the seam.
I do appreciate your opinion. Take an old Goldtop and refinish it in burst and this is what you get.
