She say's: "Mr. Darby.......I will work some of my magic for you today and we will see what I can do" just then....a truck rolls up in front of my house..... "Uh, Tracy.....you're scaring the crap out of me!"....."cause a FedEx truck just got here".................I say flabbergasted. "See.....I told you I was magic!" Ladies and Gentlemen...........may I present to you........."The Diva!"

Re: The Diva has arrived!!!!
Pardon the expletive, but she's fucking beautiful!
Congrats buddy - I know that the pucker factor was high! You had no doubt, though, which was very cool. Calm and confident. She looks fantastic.

Re: The Diva has arrived!!!!
RIGHT ON LP!!!!!!!!
Congrats! Gorgeous board! Must have been them chicken bones!  Don't worry about the switch tip, wrap some duct tape around there and she'll be fine!  Enjoy!

Re: The Diva has arrived!!!!
Well that was worth the wait wasn't it? And drama makes things exciting.
Beautiful. I don't know how you take pictures like that though; that's talent. Very glad for the happy ending! |

Re: The Diva has arrived!!!!
Ehhhhh, it's okay.
. . . . . Ha, it's beautiful!!! Very glad it found it's way. Did they explain what happened? Did it appear to have been reboxed? Have you had it dusted for fingerprints yet?  Enjoy her. |

Re: The Diva has arrived!!!!
Congrats Mark! She's gorgeous! I would bet you're feeling quite relieved right now, and I would bet, quite happy about your decision to upgrade your collection...and I couldn't blame you at all. Enjoy, my friend!
BTW, you're lucky the broken switch tip pieces (if applicable) didn't float around in the case and scratch up the finish...which happened to one of mine once. That's exactly why you're supposed to take the tip off before shipping.

Re: The Diva has arrived!!!!
Beautiful Fretboard and the Maple is exquisite. As you
know, great wood is the Hallmark of the Stinger Series. Sorry to hear about the tip, but if there was ever a time for a vintage upgrade… Enjoy it, and keep those pictures coming. |
