Here are pics that Lonnie sent me of his guitar. Besides Nokie's autograph, it's pretty much a dead ringer for my '66!

What a lovely Mosrite you have, Lonnie! The sunburst pattern on yours is the way I like it best.
I noticed that one tuner (unslotted peghead) -for the B string, is different from the others; is there a story to it?
The case is also pretty neat...AND with the handle still attached!
Some of the pictures seem to have been visited by a strange unidentified small black hole... :D

Wow! Lovely guitar, Lonnie!!! Just beautiful!

Paul, the Washington Post Sunday magazine has a puzzle-contest feature every week where they show two seemingly identical photos of some complex scene or item, and the reader has to look for the subtle differences between the two photos, which differences are created in Photoshop.

I'm not explaining it well, but with your keen eye, you could spot the differences far better than the average person, I know.

I understand you perfectly Jim! I used to love those puzzles "spot the six differences"...I guess that's where my keen eye must have come from! :roll: ......... :D

[edit] Jim, do you know if the Washington Post offers a handsome prize for the winner?!.... :idea:
...just thinkin'... :roll:

Hey, Paul--

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.
