I've been expecting a few packages in the mail lately, so I've been checking the mailbox every day. (Two of the packages would fit in my mailbox, but not the third. But even then, I've been expecting the note from the Post Office to go pick up the larger package.) All last week, it was empty each time I checked. I once again checked it Saturday early afternoon, and it was still empty.
Tonight (Sunday) on a wild hair I decided to check it again to see if by chance the mail came late Saturday afternoon. Eureka! In my mailbox, I found the key to the oversized package drop box. Cool! Inside I found a small package...the new HID headlight bulbs I ordered for my car. (One burnt out last week.) I also found a larger package...the new pickguard and rail style humbuckers for my white Stratocaster. (Now I can go either single or double coil for all three pickups.) Woot!
But very much to my surprise, I found an even larger package...one I didn't figure would fit in the mailbox:
Hmm...wonder what that could be. Here's a hint...
OK, these are just quick cell phone shots. The good pics with my real camera will have to wait a few days until I can get the guitar reassembled. For this shot, I used no flash (just the track lights in my living room) to show off the sparkle...
And for this shot, the flash was used, so this is a bit better representation of the color...
This guitar has a true automobile-quality paint job. Smooth as a grand piano. And since Dave was wanting to see my reaction when I saw the paint job he did on my guitar, I figure I should throw this pic in too. Might want to avoid showing it to any women or children...I wouldn't want them to get unnecessarily frightened...
Dave, in case you're still wondering, I'm very pleased with the paint job.
I'll post better pics of the guitar once it's all assembled back together. I'm tied up for the next couple of days, but I hope to have it back together in time for a gig we're playing Friday night. (Not gonna rush things, though...I want to do it right.)
