I've heard the tele-painting story as well and find it hard to believe
that ANYONE would muck with the classic that it was. But as pointed out
earlier Page himself said it was retooled and emerged as the
b-bending-botswana-brown-bomber.
Change of image thang? From Leather Jacket clad (just watched supershow)
demon to dragon draped Rock God ?
I fret over the slightest nick...can't ever imaginf scraping sanding
routing and painting....I'd just get a new one...15 & counting ! ; )
