I used to love those "spot-the-differences" line-drawn puzzles, but this photographic version is too close to what I do for a living to be fun for me.

I caught myself studying a "find-the-hidden animals" poster while at the dentist recently. It was aimed at six-year-olds, probably, but I found all twelve hidden animals and had fun doing it.

Hey Lonnie -

Has this guitar been refinished/touched up at one point, specifically the neck? The style of burst on the back of the headstock is atypical for a '66, but is characteristic of Bill Gruggett's work cira the 1990s.
