Jeff R Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 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. 4 Quote

Jeff R Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 She ships to Houston tomorrow. Get ready, Ken! 3 Quote
savethematches Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 First pic I've ever seen of JeffR without the middle finger salute! Quote
bcsride Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 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? 1 Quote
kenjones Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I have alerted SteveB. Looking forward to it! Quote

specialk Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Leave it to Jeffro to actually own a Pushme-Pullyou! 4 Quote
bcsride Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I've also go a Dec. 13 show in the "greater" Houston area. Quote
kenjones Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited December 4, 2014 by kenjones 3 Quote
Jeff R Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 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 3 Quote
kenjones Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited December 8, 2014 by kenjones 5 Quote
BTMN Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 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. Quote
kenjones Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Let me know who gets the guitar next and I will ship it out later this week. Quote
