Reverse Fret Job

My frets were perfect.

So we reverse-buffed them...

Taped up the fretboard...

and grinded the frets with a special fret wearer to simulate years of shredding abuse.

Now they're all messed up.

Arlington Guitar Show 2010

We were at the 2010 Texas Guitar Show in Arlington. We have pictures to prove it.

At the booth, Don showed two new JazzBlaster versions. This "Soapy" one,

And this "Frosty" one. I'm digging the frost and when I finally get my Bell you can bet it'll be cold chillin'.

This had to be the most beautiful guitar at the show. A deluxe JazzBlaster with rectangle inlays and binding on the neck. This thing just shines.

We're crossing our fingers that someone videoed the showdown performance between a vintage Fender Nocaster and Jerry Amalfitanos' blue and gold JazzBlaster. I hear the Bell was the tone champion as Don saw and heard it live. I have yet to see it, but if it's posted YouTube-ish I'll link it up here.

Free Guitar with T-Shirt Purchase!

Of course the shirts are kind of expensive. They range from about $995 to around $2,495.

JazzBlaster Special Video

I'm a real fumbly masher. But the tone is good. First part is with neck pu, second with bridge.

Here's Don's front door. Don was at Wal-Mart when I arrived. I sat back in the sedan and listened to the Rangers' game. I had forgotten to call... again.

Dude. Here are two proto guitars that Don built for a designer. The paint's not by Bell.

And here's the bass. Cool perspective shot 'cause Don is tall.

The BellMobile_2. Don's fixed 'er up nice and she's good to go.

This is a Martin. It was all cracked up on the top sides and backside. D fixed it that sh!t.

OK, going on vacation for a couple of weeks. But if NEWS BREAKS!, I'll be online and postin'.

Stay cool 'til then.

Realy?
