This is my new rig!!!

Thanks go to David Wright and Kyle Bennett at MSA...(although my friend Bruce suggested that David probably only sold it to me because he had already wrung every single one of the great licks out of it!)

We'll see...

Sure Stu...It's a 1962 Tele. I got it real wrecked and put on three pickups, a wammy bar, 10bd overdrive on board and self-lube parts. All well worth it. It has an amazing neck and sounds everything from pure tele to ballsy strat. It won me over so thoroughly when I got it that I let a 1956 P-90 Goldtop go because I never wanted to play anything but this guitar again.

Sadly, since the advent of pedal steel in my life I only pick it up to play necessary parts!

Will take some more pics tomorrow and stick them up on line....

Got a couple of other cool ones- a 1933 silver national mint, and a 1926 MArtin 00045 (like Gene Autry and Jimmie Rogers...

By the way, Stu, ever run into my old band mate in Anchorage "Mr. White Keys" he had a place called the "Fly By Night Club"?
