Went out for a lunchtime walk today and stopped into Manny's to look at some accoustics. As I was leaving, walking out past the electrics, I noticed a Satch model set up high that didn't have the lock strap attached to the hanger. Since I've never played one, and since I can reach the top row, I grabbed it and noodled unplugged for a few moments. Then I put it back started to walk out again when...
A guy walks by in black shirt, jeans and sneakers, newspaper under his arm, but with a black fishing hat pulled halfway down his head and sunglasses on.
Did a quick double take and then turned around. He was just kind of wandering around and walked into the accoustic room. I casuallly wandered back in as well. He set up in the corner facing the wall, pulled down a guitar and played for about 60 seconds max (oh well no free lunchtime concert). Walked back out and headed toward the electrics. He was looking at one of the Schenker B&W V models and some other guy started chatting with him about it.
Finally I said WTH and casually walked over said hello, that I was a fan and had just been playing his sig model which was on the wall next to us. I mentioned I liked the neck because it had some meat on it and wasn't a flat shredder and he said it was based on a classic 50's strat. Then I told him that I was a Music Man guy though and he should tell John when he saw him later. He laughed and said OK. I thanked him for his time, and said that I'd put Super Colossal on the ipod for the train ride home.
All told I spoke to him about a minute he was very nice, gracious and I didn't want to take too much of his time.
G3 is at the Garden tomorrow. (although I'm can't make it )
