I finally met Will Ray in person

Of course I've heard of and listen to Will for years and we've exchanged some emails, but never had the chance to meet him in person.... until Friday at the Dallas guitar show.

I was in my usual stuper walkin' around the show looking at shiny geetar stuff when I saw Will at the G&L booth, so I went on over and introduced myself.

He's a heck of a nice guy! We even had our picture taken together (my hair looks better than his lol).

I would have stayed and chatted longer but our guitars were flirting with each other and God only knows what kinda offspring that would produce, so I got out of there before they got to close.

Thanks Will and I hope it's not the last time we get to talk... and maybe someday do some pickin'!

1) Ha! I don't think so Timmy.

2) Too late. Your guitar is already pregnant. Expect some little G&L's running around the house soon equipped with little HipTimaraShots.

3) Someday, my friend...

.

+1 wanting to hear you two play together.

I'd like to have the pick of that litter.

I would also like to hear some of the Tele torturing you two guys could do together.

And Tim, from the picture, it's a toss-up on the hair.

I'm voting on Will's hair. No offense Tim.

The new issue of Premier Guitar has a HipPGShot with E and A levers. You've now made me consider what a HipTimaraPGShot might look like and do. Curse you, you Hellecaster!

(BTW, liked your Ebay article in the May08 GuitPlayer. Makes me want to pull the trigger on on SX of my own.)

And I'm with Tim's full goat over Will's Chesterfield.

Martin... hmmm I don't remember gettin' the E's you sent, but I'll go back thru 'em. Of course I wanna sell benders! I have to pay for those haircuts somehow. Let's try emailing again.

Will, With both your Fender and now G&L Sig guitars, you created some of the coolest looking guitars ever (IMHO).

Keep it up!

I'm voting on Will's hair. No offense Tim.

My hair rocks! Unfortunetly for me, It's the only thing that still rocks lol.

I was going for the "still stuck in the 80's, receding with gray highlights look" and it's workin' for me.

I knew that lil geetar of mine was a tramp. Will, we'll have to talk about child support and visitation rights. Who wants the runt of the litter?

I'll take the runt of the litter. Wouldn't that be a travel guitar? :mrgreen:

They're pretty fun guitars for the money. I'm a bottom feeder and any time you can get a good, decent new guitar for under $150 delivered to your door, you know something's up.

Thanx. Just thankful I can have fun and get paid for it too.
