Kate and I anxiously await

our new electric guitar kit!

Kate has been asking for an electric guitar lately (with a ten year old's total disregard for the pint size acoustic we bought a few years ago or the beautiful Japanese acoustic her mom has, of course). Hm - somehow I wasn't getting real excited about another axe gathering dust at Chateau Bottlehead.

Then last week Dan Torres sent us an order for a big batch of hole shrinkers for some amp conversions he's doing. I go to his webpage and there's this really cool Telecaster copy *kit* on his website. Well, trade is always better than cash to a gearhead, a kit is appropriate for a Bottlehead kid, and so we have a Dan Torres Tele Type kit on it's way to us. This way Kate will have to earn that axe. We're going to finish it black on the back and pink on the front.

I have a couple of Altec 342Bs downstairs, waiting to be Jimmyhatted. I think one of those just might make a ripping good guitar amp. Guess I'd better learn how to play a few licks. Hopefully my music muscles aren't totally atrophied...
