It's not the Burton w/3 pickups? It's a '68 style in black paisley? Man, I'd love to see that!

I also like all the DIY guys here-because Fenders are so modular, they are fun to customize, much like hot-rodding cars! You guys are great!

Don't get me started, when I posted a message on that board on how much I loved my Epiphone limited edition Silver sparkle Les Paul Standard, I got some very degrading replies like "Get rid of that piece of firewood and buy yourself a proper Gibson."

But Les Paul himself said it "If it says 'Les Paul' on the headstock, it's a real Les Paul"

Speaking of Hot rodding guitars, look what I just got back from the paint shop.

I started work on this one in february and it had been at the paint shop since march, but as you can see it was well worth the wait and the money.

That's gonna be a killer guitar-I dig the Firebird headstock-nice variation on a theme!

OK...found the pic I have of the gold paisley ...but it`s a strat...sorry. I`m sure I have one of the tele too...somebody was selling both a while ago on line here.

Hey EE...
I have a picture over my desk of you and I at the NYC Guitar Show in 1991(?) wearing our Converse sneakers.
Like I have said before...let me know when you're coming home and I'll treat you to AAB.
(The least I can do for copping some of your guitar lines)

Remember when they used to have shrimp rolls?

I think they still have the Gabila's knishes though...
