hey guys,
lightning hit my computer and i've been gone a while (im on the library computer now)
I just wanted to give y'all an update on my '66 strat (the one that started another civil war on this site). As soon as i get my computer fixed i will post a pic of it. It has been professionally refretted and plays exceptionally well (i was worried about refretting it). i got rid of the rebel flag guard and stripped the gray paint off down to the yellow original factory dye (the factory markings are even still there....unbelieveable). I used the correct white primer and shot it in lake placid blue. i clear coated it and cut and buffed it till it was smooth as glass.
i went with the 3 ply white pick guard and the original pick up covers and knobs. It really looks good now.
last week Ted Nugent was having a book signing for "kill it and grill it" and I couldn't stand it....i HAD to take my '66 and get the cravemans "john henry".
the staff at the book store said "mr Nugent is not going to be able to personalize anything because of his tight time schedual (he had to leave the bookstore in 2 hours to do a sound check....and there were people backed all the way out the door of the store). Ted was signing books and cd's so fast you couldn't even make out his signature.
when i got up to his table he looks at my '66 and says "wow man, thats a classic!!" He starts rumaging thru his pens and shit and pulls out a blue sharpie.
then, he really did a nice signature...took his time, dated it, and drew one of his caveman drawings (the stickman native with the spear)
I don't know why he personalized my strat and nothing else.. (that i saw) ...but, im gratful to him for being so kind to me.
so, i wen't from gray strat with a rebel flag guard...to.... a lake placid blue strat with a peice of artwork signed and dated by Ted Nugent...IN MATCHING BLUE INK NO LESS!!!!
i know im rambling but im proud of my strat y'all!
pics are coming soon
