I'd like to think with all the content in this photo I could get away with one Live Journal post about my 2 year journey from having a Squier Strat and a pile of vintage Musicmaster parts to this. But that's just silly--we just want the cum shots. So here they are, all together. Some will be put on the auction table, and some I will keep. But once I had rounded out the list with a Jag and a Tele, I knew it was time to quit. This week the Butterscotch Blonde will arrive and I will shoot my last color coats. Then it's back to soldering and cutting my nuts off. Well, filing them down a bit.
I will say this: there are two kinds of nitro. Some cover instantly and others take forever. I LOVE the former. Daphne is a wonderful paint. Dakota isn't. Don't waste your time with transparent blue.
The Jag is either getting a red torty or a mint green guard to go with the gold HW and the antique cream pup covers. I have BOTH. The day I decided to jump ship on MK white to go seafoam I later watched the movie Stranger Than Fiction with Will Ferrell. Say what you want about the film, but the soundtrack was good, and his life was changed by a seafoam green guitar. Okay, it was a Strat, but still.
Yours is vintage cream in bad light. I love that color. That was one of the ones that went on like a dream. Maybe all the pastels do. I am going to use a red torty with it. It will look super hot. I am torn between the red torty I got from Shad and the one I have been dragging around since 1977. The difference is that mine only has one pup slot. Tough call. Yours is actually the one that completed my search. The Jag and Tele were happy accidents that happened after I should have stopped looking.
