'93 discontinued Fender Stratocaster Made in Korea. They're the ones with the "CN" Serials.

Yep, there's just something special about a black guitar. When out to get me a new Santana SE it was the standard black that kept hollering louder than the colored flame tops, and came at a nicer price to boot. Elegance and me, a mismatch made in Heaven.

Then we must have a mutual friend in Hawaii's best blues and steel man, former Stajefrite lead, Bobby Ingano. And maybe Hawaii's greatest rockers, the Carter Bros., Scott and Mark, ala Twin Sin/Zontrazio?

Yup... I know those guys from back in the day. My cousin was the lead singer/guitarist for Sacred Rite. Back then everybody was connected to someone who was jammin! Good stuff!

Way cool. I've been great friends with those 3 guys since 1980, and am hoping to get the track Thirteen And Beyond sent to me as I write, as nothing really exists from the twin's reign. I can trow a rock and hit the Carter house from mine, they're still playing, but killer accoustic, Mark's on guitar now too.

Small world indeed... Bobby comes in the shop now and again. Playing lap steel nowadays.

Very nice. I really like dual binding on a tele. That looks almost exactly like my blueburst G&L ASAT Bluesboy. Except for the color...and that it's a lefty.

That's so cool! Me and my pops would have to agree that Honolulu had the best guitar stores and Hot licks was definitely no exception . Sadly I only bought a strap there , maybe next time

This will probably piss some folks off in this thread, but that's okay.

I bought this one a while back, killer guitar, but way too black/metal for my tastes, so I had it changed, no longer black.
