I was really enjoying watching some of the Kickoff videos that were posted, but I was about 1/2 way through the Fender 2009 Kickoff: Dick Dale impromptu jam (Clip 2) and it froze. Kind a bummer, but some of the other clips were pretty cool.. I am really more into the electric guitars, but the acoustics sounded pretty nice.

I noticed that myself.

Plus, Dick was talking about what appears to be some new Dick Dale Acoustics made by Fender. The guitars he and his son were playing are different than other Fender acoustics.

They are only 3" thick - front to back, Dick was saying it was to allow him to play it for long periods of time. He also said he wanted the top, sides and bottom made of the same wood - that way it would sound bigger and better (more or less). And they have dual pickguards, so they can be played by a righty or lefty (like Dick).

But those guitars aren't on the Fender website yet - I'm interested - they sounded really nice in those 2 videos.

Hopefully, we will see a "fixed" video, and get to find out more about those guitars.

Wow, it's great seeing that Dick is feeling better. I know he had surgery back in Dec.
