Although a bit expensive I decided to be one of the volunteers ("Can I please check your bag") :shock: .  

As a guitar player, builder and nut this was a unbelieveable.  Every style of guitar is being represented - classical, jazz - rock. And to top it off I get to meet three of the my guitar icons - Les Paul - (he still gigs once a week with his band at a club in NYC - hey at 90y I hope I can pickup a pick)  Dick Dale - the King of the Surf Guitar - playing with his 12y son Jimmy - Miserlou done acoustic is something to hear - and finally Bill Lawrence - the maker of some of the finest pickups (IMO) found on this planet.

Tonight is the Les Paul concert - should be great!  I hope they do this again.

Thanks
BILL Lawrence

Too Cool Bill !
Best pickups on the planet......

Was that wire okay?   I have tons more, just have to find a way to get it onto a spool of some sorts!

Peace!

I think Fralin pickups are the ones that win all the contests and shootouts.

Don't quote me on that! :wink:

Arn-

Thanks so much for the wire.  Still collecting parts for the rig - have about 85% and hope to make it the "SUMMER PROJECT"  It should work out fine.  Once I get the thing setup I'll let you know.  Got some old pickups to work on and test.
