Inspired by "yesterdays" post, I thought I'd show you my electric guitar.
Meet Frank. Because of all the different pieces that have been put into him, and because of all the different people that have worked on him, I named him Frankenstein, Frank for short. This guitar was given to me by the gracious John Hutton as a Fender Squire Stratocaster, but has since transformed. I've put new locking tuners on it, and put nashville telecaster pick ups into it. The pickup at the bridge doesn't work, but I've kept it in there anyway. I'm considering putting a new stock stratocaster bridge pickup in there with the white cover, because then my guitar would have chrome, black, and white pickups and I think that would look sweet. But then David Chin, who professionally set up the intonation of Frank said that if I just replaced the tele pick up in the bridge that he could change one of my tone knobs to be a volume knob for the middle pickup, so I could instantly transform my guitar from a strat to a tele. That also sounds like an awesome idea. What do you think I should do?
I've sanded off the squire logo, and tried my best to sand the rest of the headstock so that Katelyn can eventually paint something awesome on it. I'm excited to see what she comes up with! When I first got this guitar I was borrowing a friends American Telecaster, which was a really nice guitar with this gorgeous maple neck, which I've always preferred but have never owned a guitar with one. So when I received this guitar as a gift from the Lord, it was really tough for me to get into it since I was comparing it with how easy it was to play that Telecaster. Then I saw It Might Get Loud (talked about in "yesterdays" blog) and heard Jack White and it changed everything. I immediately put away the telecaster, and started the long, arduous process of taming Frank. Now, I am happy to say, that Frank and I are at peace with one another and have formed a mighty bond. I've gone to guitar center recently to try out other guitars and see how they compare, but because of the long hours of bonding with Frank, I can play him better or the same as any other guitar in the store, even the $1k guitars! Frank is my Montgomery Ward guitar.
la guitarra es muy feo, pero es mío
