Wine red Gibsons. The same colour as my maths teacher's slacks, in 1980.

I know what you're saying, but I'd need to put my eyes out first. For either.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I think it looks great. The original drawing had a cooler pick guard.

My maths teacher's pants could have been made of wood. Or at least had some wood in them.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
