So many guitars, so little time!

So many guitars, so little time

We are back home in Austin, and this is a picture of a sculpture Stuart ran across in DC a few months ago.  Man, look at all those lonely guitars??? 

So many guitars, so little time- As many of you know I have electrical tape covering the brand of my guitar.  It's not only for asthetic reasons...the company that made Bessie doesn't stand up to the test when it comes to backing their instruments and workmanship. So rather than bad mouth them and spread bad carma...i just refuse to advertise for them.

Bessie my guitar is doing well after some hard work from my "guitar Jesus" Ed Reynolds, who resurrected her after being mutilated by the "company" while working hard NOT to uphold her lifetime warranty on the workmanship of her sleek lines. 

After a lot of frustration at first, some heart broken tears after seeing the horrible work done, and then sighs of relief and joy after seeing Ed save her...the final decision has been made.

We are designing a new headstock for her.;after a long lamented  process, I've decided to keep her, and not trade her in for a new one.

After all, we've traveled thousands of miles together, written some great music together, and sang our hearts out together for 5 great years!!!  

We will make the decision to keep Bessie official when the new head stock is designed and applied. Then no more electrical tape (my first choice was duct tape, but Stuart convinced me that was just plain mean to Bessie, she can't help who her parents are).

So, in an effort to save one more tree, and hold on the the instrument I love, Bessie will have a new look in the next few months!

So many guitars, so little time...but when you have one that plays as sweet as Bessie, why trade her in when you can just pretty her up a bit???

Consider it a name change if you will!!!
