Lots of reactions.
* That guitar's just fucking awesome. So much vibe, so much music there. Congrats and good luck.
* "I'm pretty sure my aunt was largely playing punk and new wave type stuff back in the late 70's/early 80's" ... uhmmm ... more info, please? This sounds very interesting.
* OGG, did you consider changing the neck?
* I also had thieves take a pass on my Gibson Sonex 180 Deluxe not once, but TWICE in the 80's. They even took a little Donkey Kong game I had, but left the guitar. Twice.
HNGD!
