Thanks so much, Cindi! Sorry, I couldn't resist prying the info out of you.
Your baby is indeed beautiful. I've heard of Jason's work and you are a lucky girl ideed! I'm a regular on the Fender Forum, too. The one in your avatar looks like a tele headstock, so I was really curious.
I have a couple of Strats that I play, though none as nice as your bass. My favorite is a Deluxe Super Strat, crimson red transparent with rosewood fretboard and all gold hardware. It plays great with Graphtech saddles and it's really pretty.
I'm more of an acoustic player. My main axe is a Martin SPCD-16TRE. It's got a bookmatched spruce top, tortise shell binding all around with snowflake abalone inlaid all over it, gold hardware and and the Martin Fishman electronics. I had it customized by Ray Henning, the guy who does a lot of the work for the Austin music scene. For a 12 string I play a Takamine EF 400 S. My #2 is a Fender F270-CSE, which is always there for my backup acoustic/electric. Plus I have a couple of Yamahas and another Martin and a really cool Seagull. My mandolin that I play is a Fender electric and I even have a collection of ukes. My fav of those was my grandfather's, a very old Martin that sounds incredible. O well, nuff said. If there's any interest I'll post a few pics. Many other noise makers make up my music room and I guess it's time to thin out the herd, but I have a hard time letting go.
Anyway, thanks for coming out of the closet about your axe! I promise not to steal your cute little kitarist (at least not while you're looking anyway!).
Love,
Kristi
