<p>@darrenking 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s all part of the fun Darren, don’t ruin it.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think it would be great. It’s supposed to be stronger than standard wood and transparent, I’m thinking a lot of fun with LEDs could be had. <br /><br /></p>
<p>You would have to put one of those crap key rings on it from back in the 80s, you know, the ones that beeped when you whistle. 🤣 That’s how you find it. 🤣</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>I’m not a Talman fan but I thought that Vol knob/output jack thing was kind of cool. The only thing I like about a Strat is the output jack plate, I absolutely love that thing! Ok, they are good sounding guitars but I never liked the look or feel of them. I do like the Tele though... 🤷🏼‍♂️</p>]]></content:encoded>
