I'm realizing that I really need one of these.  Seriously.

Just an fyi but I have a couple ash Tele bodies hanging around already in silver flake base, wouldn't take much to give one the Buck treatment.

Perhaps a trip to Doo-ruhm is in order...

Except I've been in Efland for over a year now.

Efland is really Northwest Durham...or is it West Hillsborough?  Maybe East Burlington?  Far East Greensboro??

 

At any rate, I stood upon the hallowed ground of ROWYCO World Headquarters last weekend and always enjoy the sparkles, the fumes and the great company.  Git you some of that!

I can’t seem to get the Slingblader content to load, so trying this link for you Instagrammers:

Meanwhile...I'm putting Stike's artistry through its final assembly, etc. this weekend hopefully:

Depending on which end of Efland Stike inhabits, he's either closer to Hillsborough or Mebane. It's rural Orange County, all the same. Definitely not Durm, and that's a good thing.

We had a big celebration for my Dad's 80th birthday yesterday. After the open house and all the guests left, we had a few more hours together as a family and we presented Dad with his guitar. My brother also got his silver Tele on the same day, so we all posed together with our Buckaroo themed Teles. In case there is any question, I got the short and fat genes in the family. :D

That may be a look of shock and disbelief. :)

Me, my dad and my brother.

A little picking and grinning.

Being able to share these with family made it all worthwhile.

Thanks, guys. It was a pretty special day for sure. I love it when a plan comes together. :)

My band played "Act Naturally" this past weekend in honor of your dad's 80th.  No kidding

I'm almost right at the midpoint between the two just off of 70.

It was an easy decision:

1. Your Buckaroo Tele build project (x 3) finished just in time for your Dad's 80th was just too damn cool.

2. Our keys player is originally from Indiana. 

3. One of my bandmates and I look for any opportunity to play a Buck tune.
