Thanks so much, Brian! That was such a blast to revisit. Hard to believe it's been over five years since then....

Well, here's my answer: http://surfguitar101.com/forums/post/50666/ Damn, I forgot this. Not repainted, but rather a new Strat built for Eddie by Leo Fender.

When I read this, I thought for sure you were wrong about that date. But yes, it is all there. Five years...wow. I still remember being completely stunned when Eddie first posted here. I'm glad we still have his posts, they are a treasure to me.

You're not alone, Brian. For some of us, these posts (and this video of the radio interview http://surfguitar101.com/forums/topic/20163/) are as close as we'll ever get to talking to Eddie. This far after the fact, it's almost like overhearing a private conversation between close friends. Wish I'd had the chance to be one of you back then.

Man, that is nice! Looks like Eddie took real good care of it. The pickguard has shrank a bit, which is quite normal, & it's got a few scuffs, but it's aging beautifully!
