Never said I didn't appreciate the talent and time it took to carve and engrave-just don't care for it for personal collection. Even if I had $1 mill in the bank destined for nothing but guns, I wouldn't have a carved stock and/or highly engraved firearm. Just my choice. I have eight guitars, the last one I bought set me back a bit over 3G's-I could have bought another pricier one that had excessive IMO inlayed abalone on the fret board, but those IMO are too gaudy. JMO. I appreciate the talent that goes into doing those inlays, but as in over engraved and or carved stocks in firearms, IMO it takes away the natural beauty of the lines, wood, and other things that make either a guitar or firearm a thing of beauty in its own right. Guess I wasn't aware if a person was a member of this forum ya had to agree with every thread/post and couldn't post personal opinions. By the way, "This Iowa Hick really likes this forum"-just sayin'!
