Wyldbil Pirate Special #5


BTMN

Recommended Posts

Update from Baton Rouge, Louisiana ... "#5" has undergone a truss rod adjustment due to her national tour, and a subsequent saddle and pickup height adjustment.

Pardon my Cajun French, but this fucker smokes. Glamour shots from the work bay. Bil is absolutely smiling from heaven right now.

She ships to Houston tomorrow. Get ready, Ken!

I've got a gig in Bryan, TX (90 min northwest of Houston) on Jan 3 - any chance that guitar wants to get played by a crappy player in a crappy dive bar in a small town?

Good chance that could happen.

The WBS has landed safe and sound in Houston. My UPS delivery usually happens between 5-7 PM. I arrived home today at 3:50 PM to learn that the delivery was made at the unusually early time of 1:40 PM. The driver left it in plain sight. Nice, huh? At least he paid attention to the "This End Up" instructions!

More reports and pictures to follow soon.

And THAT'S the reason why when I filled out the UPS shipping forms, I ignored HFC tradition and declared package content value substantially higher than $350 LOL

The Houston stop on the Wyldbil Special USA tour.

Steve Balderrama and I took the WBS out for a night of Tex-Mex at Last Concert Cafe and for a couple of beers at Irish Pub Kenneally's. Our good friend (and fellow guitar-hound) Tom Callins joined us to take the photos. "Tres Hombres" anyone?

The guitar went home with Steve last night. We still need to decide what "goodie" we are going to drop into the box. Then off it goes to the next recipient.

Fantastic!!!!

Anyone know Bruiser Brody's email or phone number? if so contact him and tell him to check his PMs here on the board. Love to send it to him. Or maybe we will send this on to BCRide.
