Pappa_Surf Joined: Oct 28, 2008 Posts: 671 Winnipeg, Canada	Posted on Jul 24 2012 11:45 PM I think I could listen to Dave noodle on that Jag for quite a while. That thing sounds sweet (although Dave would make a Walmart guitar sound great). Someone is going to be super stoked to win that beauty. — https://www.facebook.com/index.php?lh=9353f9155b5ff32e14c998495fd00da4&#!/rich.derksen.7 Top

And was giving it a look over today. He changed the strings to 11s Flatwounds, and set it up superbly. Thanks again to Fender, and to Dave for getting it "surf ready" — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

I just realized that you can hear almost everything by El Ray here: http://elray.dk/press/music.html Lots of Spy type songs, I know that Otto wanted them for Tiki Oasis, but they couldn't stay for 2 weeks plus ;-( But at least Nor. Cal. and So. Cal. can see them before Oasis. at F.I. and the SG101 con. Jeff(btd) — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Jul 29, 2012 15:38:29 Top
