    Yep, was a most enjoyable evening!

    Really great to catch up with another PBG-ite (hey Andrew) and the band were as rocking as ever ... Greg Koch is one seriously impressive guitarist and full of enough personal anecdotes and comic one-liners to really keep the show entertaining.

    Fender might not make "ground-shaking" changes to their range of products each year but the little things they do change are always interesting (hey, when you've produced models that have been become true icons in their field why risk screwing it up!) ... but this year they do have some really nice "re-issues" of some of their classic axes and amps (keep an out for the Blues Juniors and the Twin Reverbs!)

    And the big surprise was this year's giveaway prize ... not the usual acoustic but a full blown Tele Cabronita! (with Bigsby) ... unfortunately someone else won it!


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    Will definitely be going to the show next year
