I hope there is no offense towards fender, albeit shouldn't be.
I believe a Fender congratulations should be awarded to one of our
own here, a fellow Texan is competing in the Guitar Center
"Battle of the Blues", and made it to the finals in LA.
She is young Female, Fender Strat Blues player that will make it BIG.
Houston has many too notch players and she emerged to the top.

I would love to see her get a brand new stratocaster awarded.
I know Fender is under no obligation to do so, however
when she makes it big she will choose a stratocaster for her
voice.
Anyway just thinking out loud.
Becky congratulations. I'm sure your father is immensely
proud!!!

Hey bluesstrattone: nice thread! 8)

I wouldn't be in the least surprised if TGS finds Fender doing her a Sig Strat all of her very own in the fullness of time. I bet she's got the staying power to get there.

Meantime - way to go, Rebecca!

Cheers - C

Fender would do well to sign up TGS and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she wins the Battle of the Blues comp. She has the chops! 8)

Destined for Greatness that one!

If Fender doesn't give her a new Custom, I'll pitch in to help get her one.

If any one deserves one more, she does. I saw her very 1st king of the
blues go on YouTube when I competed also.
I thought man this girl is good, reminds me of a young Johnny Lang.
I can only be so lucky to be a fraction as good as her one day.

I'll be at the finals. I'll try to take some pics, or maybe even shoot some video to share with you guys. Rebecca will nail it, I'm pretty certain.

Thanks guys! I totally did a double take when I saw this thread. :lol: Ya'll are awesome!

So far my Forum Caster has been working out wonderfully for me. I've been playing it hard, and it will do fine in L.A. It's the closest thing to a custom Fender I could hope to ask for right now. Maybe someday I'll be able to get a real Fender custom, but until that day comes the Forum Caster is my #1 and my absolute favorite guitar ever (and my Hwy 1 is a close 2nd).

If you do, that would be great! I may not get the chance to post anything until well after the contest ends, or possibly not even until I'm back in Houston.

As far as links go, I still don't have anything from this year's Battle of the Blues up yet because I want to keep it a surprise. I do have a website with some videos and things here, http://www.rebeccalaird.com/index.html . I can't remember if I've posted that here yet or not, it's something I just got going recently.

Becky I'm exited and thrilled that you've made it this far,
it isn't an easy task to achieve.
I mentioned earlier Houston is filled with great musicians
and to be where your at, you must have blown them away.
I am honored as well as others to have shared this experience
with you.
Enjoy every little moment, this is huge, you are now an inspiration
to me and others.
The best of Luck BST Joe from south Texas
