ah, mcmoo...had you but asked before you put superstrings on a guitar! Our institute of DeepFried Physics attempted this recently, using one of 'those' guitars....with amazing results! here are 3 pictures of what happened...as you can see, by stage 3 the guitar was beginning to collapse into itself!..only fast work with wire cutters kept it from who KNOWS what disturbing fate! At least it wasn't one of Rick's!
