Good thread. Maybe I'll find a new dive buddy and someone to jam with. hah
This is a photo from earlier this year. The guy next to me (I'm playing bass) is Pen Cayatano. He's considered the "Father of Punta Rock" here in Belize. The other guy on the left is playing harmonica and my two spearing buddies, Jake and Jorge (gone to Viet Nam) are playing drums. Pen's daughter...oh is she beautiful. German mother.....was playing piano and singing.
I also played guitar with some of her songs later.
I"ve been on a break lately. My two year old son loves to come in the room when I try to practice and grabs my pick or guitar. My calluses are thin right now.
This is my collection of electrics,,,,except for the blue one....(and a double cutaway Les Paul and a Peavey Tiger Eye)..... I put a new neck on that guitar for a kid here. It was the real Fender neck off the natural finished (real) Fender strat.
I put a Warmoth neck on that one and Lindy Fralin pickups. That's my personal favorite. It has jumbo stainless steel frets, and Schaller locking tuners. Plays really nice. I built all the other ones with Warmoth parts.
The burst colored one....well, Stevie Ray came to me in a dream and said, "build this guitar, and you'll be able to play Little Wing, like I did". I built it but he lied to me. haha
I can play a few of his songs though. Music and the ocean. I'm lucky I have an understanding wife.
I have 3 acoustics laying around too. A nice Martin copy that a friend built from scratch. It sounds great. I go through fazes. Sometimes I'm bluesy and sometimes rock n rolly....I like Skynyrd.
