New Axe, New Vision...

The Skunk
She was definitely a whore once :-)
Endless bashing yielded these marks...
'The Skunk' is a common breed of a rare species: a vintage 1974 Fender Stratocaster in what used to be a 3-tone sunburst finish... Plays like butter, as most of this era's Strats are, and the tone.... my my, bright and clear as a bell, and wails like Billy F. Gibbon's Strats... Funky as hell, and the smell of the funk from the years played... 34 years in total of accumulated funk is no joke.. Took me like 4 hrs to give her a proper scrub she's been longing for all these years...Heck, it was definitely worth it... now 'The Ford' the other '66 Strat in my possession would have a 'Mustang' for a competitor eh...Naughty t just had to get him a torn down abused axe to justify for all the blues he's facing... :-P
