Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam “Bird Of A Different Feather”

Chapters
00:00 - Rockin' the Super Eagle


Notes
Uncle Larry takes a Saturday stroll on some Hawaiian Acacia Koa from 1977

There’s a certain guitar sound that I refer to as the “covers off” tone….every lifer rock and roller knows that thing a good humbucker does when there is no pickup cover to impede its world domination efforts.

Notes
details about 1962 Stratocaster for sale...

i asked several of my vintage dealer buddies what the current fair market price is.

i got several responses ranging from 34k on the low side to 40k on the high side.

so...in true Uncle Larry fashion...i'll go with the low side.

34K plus actual day shipping costs (which will probably be 500.00) is the price people.

i just weighed it, it's waffling back and forth between 8.0 and 8.2 on my digital postal scale.

nice big chunky neck...beautifully refretted a while ago by Greg Voros.

also includes the original case candy fender book in case pocket that i'm told is worth over 500 all day long.

as you guys know i've owned hundreds of pre-cbs strats... this is by far the best sounding one i ever had, which is why i always kept it.
