April Birthdays 
So awhile back I got a PM from Colts Surf, who lives in Seal Beach.
He said he wanted to meet me at the HB pier show that was comin up.
And that he had a guitar that he wanted to give to me, to raffle off at the SG101 convention.
I am blown away by his generosity.
Thanks so much sir.
The Guitar is a G&L student size(jag length neck with small body)
SC-2 model Guitar. Bel Air Green.
Made in Fullerton(not sure what year)
But the thing is in Perfect new condition.
Hopefully Colts surf will chime in and give the year and other info.
medium weight for its size.
great wood tone, when not plugged in.
everything is rock solid, hardware, and neck joint.
even the pots and toggle switch are so well made and put together.
Just like Military Gun quality.
it has Locking tuners and a floating tremolo system,similar to a Wilkinson.
and the Tremolo arm goes into the hole and locks down a Teflon (I think) washer, that lets it rotate smoothly, but allows absolutely no play or giggle.
and Nice single coil pickups.
The neck is real strong and flat.
I haven't plugged it in to an amp.
But it plays nice. the action may need to be raised a bit.
I would love to keep this guitar, but alas.
It will be raffled off at the SG101 convention.
