It's going to look amazing! Tony, I just had the best idea! Let me run it by you... Gig the guitar a few times make sure it's all good and then pack it up and send it to me for Christmas?! What a Merry Kissmas that would be!!

A table? Yeah I'll post some pics sometime... I've got a music room which is strictly for...music! No tv! The pinball sits in that room... I've got to get some framed posters on the wall to dress it up the room a bit...I was thinking the signed vinnie litho but I can't bring myself to frame it, so then I thought my signed vinnie laney poster from '87 but I'm not sure if I have the balls to display that pink poster on my wall

Great guitar work!!! Wow, I love DIY projects, but this is definately beyond that! Its great! I love how you can control the speed of the lights, maybe synch it up in a live show with the drums and bass, make for a very dramatic effect when you are ending a song.
