All that happened with this last purchase was I got that ya right response. Actually she is very used to my GAS attacks and was surprised I made it this long.

Sure one darn nice guitar, the only thing it is missing is a master volume, i remember when I first bought mine, I forgot it was not a strat.....you have to get used to two volume controls.....

Dan; I noticed it acts differently than the 5122. When I adjust each pickup individualy and then switch to both pickups it gets louder. The 5122 gets quieter when I do that. But it is kind of cool that way.

Only thing I noticed is not to email fenders customer service, then have to write another ( to eat crow)cause I forgot about the two volumes, but with single coils the noise will cancel ( single coil hum) with the volumes evened out....

Yep, should be a good weekend. I plan on spending tomorrow evening at a cookout that includes me parked in a hot tub!
And don't tell me about the "real" meaning of Independence Day. I'm a veteran...I know about our independence and I'm proud to say that I took part in that continuing enterprise.
It's not just about picnics and fireworks...but I am gonna enjoy the hot tub!
Cheers

Well if I have your attention. I was getting ready to send Dan his new guitar strap, and I reached for a box. I had just filled out the address tag with Dan's last name and noticed the box had his last name written on it in black marker! How weird is that! It also had an old tag with Garmin on it ?!?!?!? After a few moments of puzzling, I knew that Dan had never sent me anything. Then I figured it out! Jukebox sent me some of his great jams in the box. Eventuality Dan sent something to Juke in the box, then Juke sent me the jams in it, now I am sending it back to Dan with his new strap! Never let it be said that we don't recycle! Hahaha I thought this was cool!

I keep forgetting to ask you if the great drummer in the band wants a 12 in gretsch tom, I have had her for a few years, shes like new and comes with the rims mount, dont know what size you already have, if anything other than a 12 , would make a nice addition...

Well heck. I guess I need to cancel that amateur-trapeze-without-a-net party I had planned.

Afternoon Dan. No Sir I love it. Although water's everywhere, we don't get much rain where I'm at. Glad the temp's eased up a bit for you.
Got 4 days off starting in 38 minutes |

I just got done watching the city's fireworks! The bestpart was that the field they launched them from was less than a mile from where I live, so all I had to do, was step outside of my apartment building, to see it all!  No crowds, and no traffic hassles! |
