but now it has character.

I can imagine that and it would suck.
I'm thinking about getting a nice archtop and that's one of my biggest fears.
As for more character, I don't think I'd be in the mood to feel much consolation, but take a look at Willie Nelson's (

edit: also note you can always re-finish it.

A guitar should not look shiny and new, much as a good book never does. But this one looks like you could contract 8 different diseases per song from it.
* Kolya is not a guitarist.

When the mic isn't grounded and it shocks the living shit out of your upper lip
Soundmen who show up late/drunk/deaf/in a Doors T-shirt
When the backup vocalists miss their cue and you're already cheating as the lead vocalist by singing a harmony on the chorus because the others can't hear it. You're out there all by yourself singing what sounds like the wrong note because the other guys didn't help finish the chord. Fucktards.
Drummers for whom the phrase 'consistent tempo' is as foreign as 'real-job' or 'non-std laden girlfriend'
No bar concession for the band. Fuck you.
Bass players who screw around with pedals. Pedals don't make you sound better, they make you sound like you want to be a guitar player so go be one and quit wasting my time (also learn some scales you worthless waste of sweat).
Every band ever, anywhere who 'sounds like Tool'. If you're trying to sound like Tool, you ARE a Tool.
DJ's who play "My Humps" right before you're introduced. Get leprosy.
Vocalist who wear headband/armbands. 1982 has come and gone. Move on.
Mic-inputs built into the stage in the 1940's and not a single fucking person at the club knows which ones work and which ones don't.
Opening bands. Move your shit and go home.
Ugly lesbians who insist on dancing RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU the whole night, because HEY LOOK WE'RE LESBAINS AND IT'S OK TO DANCE TOGETHER. Breast cancer upon you and your pets.
That drunk guy who keep insisting that you play Stairway to Heaven/Freebird/Jumping Jack Flash. A one car fatality is too good for you.
That drunk guy who gives you a twenty, somehow thinking this will magically enable you to play a Dave Matthews/Megadeth/Kansas song on the fly.
Dickface at the third table on the left who keeps yelling "more cowbell." I'd rather shove a cowbell through your left eye socket than explain why this is not funny anymore.
People that show up at 2:45am and want you to play 17 encores because they just got there
Sleeping in vans
Bars that only book 'national' acts. You know, good bands like, Nickelback and Drowning Pool. :tsktsk:

I hate when song lyrics play on endless loop in my mind.
Especially when it's one short partial piece..
