How are you planning on distressing it? I saw something a few months back - it was a distressing master class by someone from the fender custom shop, and he was using bunches of keys and all sorts - nuts and bolts etc.... wish I'd saved the link now!
give your goldtop to me.. i'll have it back worn and used by the weekend :P

You want to distress the LP severely - buy two Samicks and put it between them! LOL

Re the straplock thingy - buy another set of el cheapo ones for the strat and put them on all 3 gats - or perform only on an extemly large mattress!
You can't do THAT on stage!
