The Dutch fought the Spanish in the South of the Netherlands for about 80 years... Remember the Dutch Republic is much older than the French or American republic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle-Hertog Hertog means Duke, so that part belonged to the Duke of Brabant -- Nassau is the Dutch royal family.

My 86 RG 140 is probably my favorite guitar to play also. My 80 Westbury and 86 Guild is a very close second but thats just because of the pups. The neck on the RG is just a pleasure to play. Some reason i thought you had a blue 140.

humbuckers are wired backwards compared to single coils. always the same sticking a bucker in a strat, you need to either swap the wires on the 2 singles or on the bucker so theyre in phase.prob easier on the bridge pup coz it has a seperate earth wire? just swap the start and finish wires over
