A few years ago Brad sold me a Lacewood Soloist, I showed it off back then. It was a catalog guitar, many of you have seen it, the third one down on page 45:
And here's a pic of the headstock right after I first got it:
Well, like a dumbass, I had it leaning against a half stack and accidentally knocked it over, face down, into the wooden floor. When I saw what had happened I literally felt sick. Here's the original damage:
As you could imagine, I was horrified and disgusted that I had allowed this to happen to such a cool guitar. But all was not lost. The drummer in my band said he could fix it up. He's such a great guy, not just a musician but a real friend, and a guy who always tries to make things better when they're not. So I let him have a shot at it, and the results are quite remarkable. Take a look:
So there was a bit of the clear over "Made in USA" that just couldn't be salvaged, and a few very small marks on the face. Only the glue line on the back can be seen, but nothing can be felt. It's as smooth as a baby's butt. It's amazing work for sure. So, the next time you guys think of making a drummer joke, think again. You never know, he might save your ass when you need it the most. Thanks, Fred, you rock, bro!
