I thought JimK holds that record..... JK!!!!

The words have changed, but the song remains the same......

I used the 1997 last night at my Uncle's Christmas party...everyone was impressed with my playing...until I broke a string during my last song! I was mad, and stopped playing altogether (cos I broke the string that was needed in the song) but I was still applauded by my family.

I went home to restring it with a set of Ric Compressed Roundwounds, when I ended up stringing them the wrong way (a way I really can't tell you how I did it), so I bought 3 packs of Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds in 10 gauge for the 1997. I'm sure I'll love the flats all the same

That's a great Christmas tale. 50 years from now you can tell grandkids about the "String that broke at Christmas".

Glad to hear your new axe is getting seen and a lot of attention.

Best,

Manta

What? Well, we ALL know what you should have done, smash your guitar, just like Pete Townshend!

Figures, I'm waiting all this time to see what you get, even start a thread today asking what it was, only to find out you posted it here.

Congratulations on your guitar. Maybe there is a Fender site you can sell your Strat on, much better than con-signment

Kudos to Kevin for coming through on this deal, as I'm sure Jake was one happy chappy when it all came through.

So, who won the pool on whether Jake or Jim would get their dream Rick first?

Uhhhh....I think that would be Jake....

It has been six days since the promised pics were going to be posted "tomorrow, hopefully"... I have have been following this thread from the beginning and am still waiting...

Just kidding, but a belated congrats, and now where are those pics?

My computer has been out of service the past week or two...my mom's boss let me use his old laptop, and that died...and now I'm back on my regular computer.

The pics need to be scanned, and my computer's needing everything reinstalled...the pics ARE on the way

pic's we must see pic's

We want pics! We want pics! We want pics!

Jake, this is no way to treat your buddies!

Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now! Pics! Now!

I have pics ready to go, I just need to scan them, and with my scanner being stupid, I cannot scan them.
