Here's my Lakkie with its magnificent brothers:
The Fender and Lakland are both supposed to be called "white".
I see an OCD theme developing!
"white" can be so many different things!!!
I love aged white...JJ had a JO that he called "banana cream" with good reason....I loved that one....well, the pictures of that one anyways....
any idea where that is JJ?
woah!!!!
almost as old as me.....
worth a pretty penny I bet!

He turned 45 2 months ago
Frank Russell was at the last Lakland/LOG GTG as well...GREAT guy!

Mr. John Pirruccello and Lakland were here for our morning sales meeting. It was great meeting him as well as Frank Russell who did a clinic with Norm Stockton last night.
I mentioned to John that I had a skyline 55-60 with Chi-Sonics I was waiting on and how it was going to be a couple weeks because they were currently out of the slim single-coil pickup. He mentioned that I could get the stacked control knobs like the US model in my skyline, so now that's what's going to be installed in my bass while I'm waiting for the pickups to be finished. I'm stoked!

I do have a custom guard coming for my 44-02 that I should wait on
.Other than that, no new Lakies in the works... Does that mean I have permission to post pics of my non-Laklands in my family shot?
was hoping i'd have my new USA 55-69 tetsuya by #50.
all i know is that it could be ready to ship to me "any day" according to Leo
and that was about 1-2 weeks ago!

Spencer Pyne had it for a while. Wish I'd just swapped the Fralins for some Lakland Js instead of getting rid of her.

Pics when it arrives! And congrats.
Yeah... I bought it for about $5700 (it was 4000 at the time), but I'm guessing I could get a bit more for it, only a year after I bought it. I'm never selling it, though
Here's a couple of pics during/after the shaving. I was Friar Tuck for a day, then shaved it all off. I can't find a complete shavedhead at the moment
and Friar Tuck, rear shot:
I've thought about doing something crazy like that but I can never bring myself to do it. "Shirley" has some cosmetic damage from a car fire we survived together 6 years ago, so she is definitely not as 'desirable' to other people as I would think... unless there is a market for relic'd laklands that I'm unaware of
Besides, she and I have been through so much together, it would be like losing a limb if I ever sold or traded away.

Congrats! I had to google the 55-69 (pardon my ignorance) because i hadn't seen it before.
What's the diff between that and the 55-94 (other than the awesome pink finish)?
..............ahhhhh...not TOTALLY true.....you know that!
