"Reunited,and it feels so good"...... :D

For those here on RRF who don't know the story . . . our friend Woody was kind enough to sell LD389 back to me earlier this year. What a happy homecoming !!

She is still strung with Ernie Ball 40-95 Cobalt Flats. Previously, she wore LaBella Low-Tension 42-100 Flexible Flats. The LaBellas feel soft, ultra smooth, and they are all about thump. The EBs are very slightly higher tension and just a little bit grabby feeling. Also (for flats) they are very bright - something which I thought I was missing with the LaBellas.

One more pic from our gig last Saturday night; the band is called Motel California. Betcha can't guess whose music we feature !! :D

Thanks, Woody! I would eventually like to get a thumb rest and a horseshoe back into it.

It is indeed !
Pretty much has THE perfect neck profile.
If I'd kept her,I would have wanted to route it for a neck toaster,and ultimately could not bring myself to do that.
I'm glad she's being used and appreciated again.

Silly bathroom pic, but it the only lighting in my house that allows me to take an accurate photo of the Fireglo., It still bleached out a bit.

Back in the fold after being "Rickless" for 6 years.
