Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Fender Custom Shop Dick Dale Signature Series PROTOTYPE on Ebay

Marty Tippens (mctippens) - 09 Oct 2004 16:40:35

That's probably right, Big T. I'm sure that Fender wouldn't try to market the
guitar without a volume knob but Dick probably gave it the air on his personal
Beast. The placement of the volume knob on a strat is loved be some and hated by
some and of course others don't give a dern. It is loved by those who like to
use their pinky to roll up the volume for effect, country players in particular.
Hated by those who find it more often gets in the way and accidently rolls down
the volume.

Hey Marty,
I thought even his Volume Knob was taken off. That's the one that
most peopl ehave a problem with hitting on Starts isn't it?
