I got the CP today, absolutely mint, still has the stickers on the pickguard. He's had it approximately 12 years, hasn't played it since it was new when he took a few lessons. It is light with nice wood figuring. It's a made in China. I think it would look good with a black pickguard, what's the preferred source for one? Photos tomorrow...

nope not gonna fly, go take a picture right now…

 
Tat is from that exact picture, so the hazy smoke covers all that would be tire tracks. The driver’s name was Mike Sorokin
:thumbsup:

A good friend and colleague and I used to banter about drag and oval type track racing. We enjoyed trying to get on each other's nerves about the silliness of each other's favorite style of racing. He loved drag and I stock car. We both watched a little of the others because both are enjoyable but not enough to know it well. So we just tried to irritate each other with the typical banter:
"What kind brain dead person stares at something going in circles?"
"I can fart longer and maybe louder than a drag race."
Juvenile humor as so much more fun than erudite joking about.
 
Yup, in 47 years I've only had two SVT heads suddenly stop working on me and one time it was user error and the other time user neglect. I had one fall from the top of an SVT cab once onto a concrete sidewalk, the sidewalk got damaged more than the head.:laugh:
When it slid off the sidewalk probably was screaming, "In coming!"
