Thanks, Randy. Oh, she's spent plenty of time out and about. That's the deal for me -- I appreciate the high end woods and bling, but none of my guitars are museum pieces. They all get played out and will occasionally earn a ding or two. Not abused by any means (I'm not a touring musician, just your average part time weekend warrior), but definitely played. The finish on the neck of the 912 has been worn to a very nice gloss from the original satin, and the frets could use a little work. I'm thinking that she'll probably make a trip back to home base for a tune up and the aforementioned ES upgrade later in the Spring.
