Rajneeshee Strat

There's nothing like working on the very guitar used in the Rajneeshee ceremonies and wondering if I should be wearing a gas mask. In the mid 80's, up the river a couple hours from Portland, the Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh and his followers engineered strains of Salmonella in an attempt to poison the local voting constituents, to send their own candidate to the county court. They poisoned the water supply and 11 local restaurants, but ultimately failed in their aims. Anyway, I swapped out the guitar's black pickguard for a white one (perhaps diminishing its cult power), thoroughly cleaned the guitar and its electronics, and set it up. Notice the awesome finish checking which runs almost perfectly perpendicular to the top, and my dust mask next to the old pickguard. So far, I haven't noticed any ill effects, spiritual or otherwise.
