From what we know of his personal collections, he's a huge fan of quite an assortment of artists, and maybe even El Greco :wink:


Right Doc
I'm a great fan of Joey Greco (remember "Memphis", the Showmen) I had the chance to meet and having him play on my '56 Strat Fiesta Red..

Hi Alain,

congrats, that´s a beautiful HLE. Unusual to see it with the white pickguard, most of the time people let the stock anodized guard on. What a great idea from the CS to include a second guard, they should offer this today, too.

The HLE´s have a beautiful classic Strat tone, I had two of them. Really great guitars.

Cheers
Harald

Thanks Harald,

Some FCS guitars still have the option of two pickguards ie the Hank Marvin Autograph Strat, but that's quite rare
Cheers
Alain

40th anniversary, possibly made to cash in on Yngwie's "Pyramid of Cheops" from the same year?

There seems to be a black version of this one too:

By some unsung Egyptian artisan perhaps?? In whose tomb[s] were these Pharaohcaster's discovered? They might even have been used to record that classic ....'Walk Like An Egyptian'. 8)

I just showed these to Marilyn. She thinks they are 'pretty', but likes some of your others much better. We are looking forward to an up close and personal :idea: , but likely no sooner that 12-18 mos from now. :wink:

You said "weird" ?
It's related to who made them...
