Dude, I should totally do something like that with my Jackson (I’ve already modded that guitar to within an inch of its life). I should cut the heads off of some nails and glue them to the corners of the pickup rings to make it look like I’ve nailed them onto the guitar!

@eSGEe, come help our boy with his Ferengi skilz!
