Got Myself a Digital Camera, So...

Post by oreca »

First thing I did was snap pictures of the 370!

I had to reduce the quality so the pictures would fit under 36kb but they still turned out nicely.

Just got my first digital camera and thought I'd share the first picture it took. I saw this guitar on eBay several years ago and lost out on the bidding in the last seconds. I looked for another like it for a year and finally contacted the winner in desperation. A deal was struck and I sold three guitars to justify buying it to my wife.

I found out about Mark Arnquist through the Forum and he happened to live within miles of me. The changes and improvements we made are slowly morphing "her" into a sultry psuedo-v64. I've wanted one of these since I first saw one in 1967. After that, my Harmony Rocket just didn't do it for me anymore.

Not sure if I'm going to change the neck pick-up to a toaster, too. It might look a liitle weird, but the difference in sound between the two pick-ups works pretty well.Image

Burgundy is sooo sweet...almost as gorgeous as turquoise...

On the blond ric the trapeze is black. Did you paint it? Or did ric offer them in black at one point? It looks nice.

It's one of Don Adamek's. I had it powdercoated. Same with the toaster cover. Thanks.
