Italy - 2005
I really like this guitar
a lot. I had found it in a store in Tarnow, in eastern Poland, with
stickers on it, but without a pickup, needing some work. On an otherwise
lazy afternoon I did one of my 'cowboy jobs', screwing a pick-up right
onto the soundboard, drilling holes for the controls with my pen knife,
rigging internal wiring with my gas-operated soldering iron, and so
forth...
I never really needed the vibrato lever, but sure like the look.
This was my main instrument for a few years, in combination with a
Taxi amp, and I only stopped performing with it because what is now
my regular guitar fell into my arms. The 'new one' can be played acoustically
or electrically, so it does not always need an amplifier for it to
be heard through. Lightens the load...
