Saw Flying Colors last night. Great show which I just don't have time to post a review of right now. Maybe someone else can pop in.
But the great thing is that Steve played the old No. 1 all night. It's got a new neck and a new bridge on it but the same body, same pickups, same silicon gel around the neck pickup, same worn down to the wood and peeling paint.
It does have some new holes in it as Steve had to install a new bridge to mate up with the new neck and he had to drill new holes in the body. He evidently mis-drilled them the first time and had to re-do it. For anyone who knows Steve...that's exactly what he'd do. Grab a hand drill and start drilling.
The neck had to be custom made because the neck pocket on No. 1 is no longer a normal size. There's some discussion of that subject in other posts.
Got to meet Travis Larson and Jennifer Young in the crowd. What a friendly bunch! Whole 'nother subject. Would love to write more but I gotta gig tonight and need to start loading the pickup.
