I texted him today (he hates texting but didn't mention it THIS time) to wish him a very happy birthday. It's been a while since I've seen him but often think about how different my life has been...

I own some HH Bongos but I play the H Bongos. Secret weapon? Yup.

NAMM is usually where the new colors are introduced and that's coming up in January.

I know I sound like my ex wife with purses, but the Valentine really WAS a keeper. Beautiful guitar.

But I bought the green AL without paying much attention. It didn't have a whammy bar. I...

When I bought the Valentine, I wanted an Albert Lee. But I was happy enough with the Valentine, which of course sent my Tele whimpering and crying into the closet.

But I still wanted an Albert...

Knobs.

I love you, Chuck. I really do.

Well, the Stingray and the Valentine are gone now. I'm down to just the two ALs, which is kind of what I wanted to begin with.

Plus the Big Al, of course!

That blue SR5 is dead sexy.

There are a few other basses, yes.

Apologies for the Fender P bass, but come on, even BP has one. Frankly, I don't...

I can second that. Billy is the man.

A boy has to dream.

I broke out the toolbox almost immediately. Rigged up a workspace using a large beach towel from the Republic of Panama that has long since been overcome by events. Set the Valentine upon the...

Good thinking but the Slinkys are on there now. Next string change!

I guess I'll have to see where I can get one Schaller. Probably from Schaller, eh. And I'm not even a scientist.

The other Albert Lee arrived today. What finish is this? The seller called it turquoise, it looks like surf green to me.

So the full line-up of skinny stringers. The Orange Crush Big...

It's NGD again, this time with the Turquoise/Full Rosewood Big Al HH. The strings were...not good, but that's okay, I have a box full of strings.

I break out the Paradigms, 10-52, and start with...

No worries, sir. Plus BP has apparently been really busy with - some sort of hot dog stand?

Seeing and reading about the process makes it even cooler.

Well, DUH, I didn't think to look at the certificate. See how smart I am? It's 41/75.

It just arrived yesterday so we're still in the honeymoon phase. Honestly, after doing almost nothing but playing this guitar, I think the honeymoon phase is going to last a good, long time.
