I've dialed back my visual aesthetic stuff to be minimalized so as to not impact performance or have an absolute minimal impact on performance, if that makes

sense.

You know, early on, I was... not nearly like what so many of the, so many of the folks are nowadays, but you know, I did some, I did some diamond wraps and some Chevrons and I even did a few weaves.

Um, but it never really resonated with me you know I think you know I come from sort of a 1980s punk rock mentality where it's very you know like do-it-yourself kind of thing you know and it's and then and I don't mind getting a little dirty you know and like I was telling Paul Arden from Sexy Loops the other day I did a podcast with him that should be published pretty soon and You know, one of my favorite guitar players that I had the pleasure of meeting and seeing before they blew up really big was Nuno Bettencourt from Xtreme.

And Nuno, you know, for the longest time, he had a kit guitar that he had put together out of a warmoth body and a warmoth neck.

And, you know, and it wasn't painted.

It didn't even have, I mean, it was just bare wood.

That escalated quickly.
