question

What do you think about the term "chick" -- is it uncategorically offensive? What if I mean it as purely as a compliment? Is there still a condescending tone to it?

I picked up my new guitar from UPS today. Yes, the one from Ebay that I didn't really have the money for but couldn't resist. It is one freaky guitar. A previous owner basically customized the ever-loving shit out of it. I knew that, but I didn't realize just how customized it is. It needs setting up a little better, which I should be able to handle, and I'm probably going to have to rewire the pickups completely, because they're ass-backwards and sideways. I think it'll be a fun guitar once I'm done, though. The strangest thing is the neck, which is v-shaped! I've never played a guitar like that before.
