Red with black pick-guard. Action is so nice I press my Palm Pilot screen harder than the neck. And it’s a Mexican one.
Such a classic shape. Every curve just perfect.
I’ve had Strats — an American one, a Japanese one, and very good clone called a Tokai. I love ‘em and will probably own one again. But for right now all I’ve got is a crazy mid 60s Kent semi-hollow that I found at a pawnshop and a very good but very beat up 12-string acoustic. It has a solid spruce top and rosewood sides, a simple Martin style headstock, but no identifying labels or markings other than a little sticker that says “handmade in Israel”. I don’t know of any Israeli guitarmakers so it’s kind of a mystery.
Once, while shooting the breeze with Dr. Stan, he grabbed me by the arm and gave me a tour of his office - he had leaning in a corner one of Harrison's electric guitars (..and I don't know a Fender from a Freddy). I imagine it became worth a buck or two when the Beetle died.
It was fun seeing his high profile patients come in and out, and sometimes exchanging a word with them. The one that impressed me most was Nicole Kidman; I'm just shy of 6 feet, and she stood at eye level with me. Beautiful complexion and stunning eyes.
Least impressive was Bob Dylan - I didn't talk with him, but he was unmistakable - looked like a homeless druggie who'd found his way to ritzy West Los Angeles.
Yep.
