In an interesting development, the contractor I have recently had working in my home who also happens to be a guitar lover, took a clear interest in the guitars Amanda and I have created. Is "created" the right word? Certainly for Amanda's portion of the projects.
About a month ago he contacted me asking if I knew anyone who could rewire a Squier Strat he had been given.
I said sure, drop it by. I had to gut it and rewire the whole thing. A picture of the guts of that guitar when I received it could have easily become a GC meme. There was even some speaker wire Frankensteined into the mix. There's just no way it would have worked.
Anyway, no biggie. I rewired it and also replaced the strings and set the action and intonation which were equally .......not right.
For him it was like getting back a completely new guitar. He offered to pay of course, but I figured it was worth it as just an act of good will and declined.
So, while he was at my home (yes, both of us masked and standing well apart) he noticed some of the art guitars. He made an good offer and bought one of the Tele styles on the spot and took it home.
Fast forward to New Years Eve / New Years Day and he was at my home doing drywall work. He gave me a buddy price for sure and did an absolutely excellent job, strictly professional.
Comes time to pay up. I offered cash under the table. He countered with, how about $XXXX and that Strat (the one featured at the start of this thread)?
Done and done.
