I had the strings off to re-set her up, and decided to do a mini montage of my #1. It took two years of saving and almost a year of planning, but just about this time 3 years ago, I finally finished my dream guitar. Between then and now she's been gigged, recorded, played hard, put up wet, but when push came to shove, she always delivered. She's not exactly the pretty, pretty princess I imagined she'd forever be; she has her share of nicks and dings, but I wouldn't trade her for the world.
The devil's face
You can see some of the nicks and dings in this photo. The one at the bottom near the strap button was put there by moi less than an hour after I got her back from my tech the first time (I was devastated and in a bad mood for days).
The headstock shot
And the reverse
Here you can see where she hit a brick wall during practice last week
Fretboard and inlays. You can see a bit of wear on the fretboard in the first position, but the SS frets are still imaculate. I love 'em!
Back of the neck. This was ordered as the plain, base price $157 maple and I got lucky with a bit of flame. It has yellowed up nicely in the past 3 years
When I bought the body, it was a gorgeous, deep, slightly bluish purple. I loved it. I hadn't noticed how much the color had changed until I popped the guard. It has faded quite a bit to a pinkish hue, but I still love her.
Another angle
Just thought I'd share.
Cheers!
