Hello, people who more than likely know more about guitars than I do.
Quite recently I walked into my local guitar store, a small business ran buy a man with a dream; a dream of small business affairs.
anyhoo.
I found this guitar of mine and you see…. I have no idea where it came from, who made it, what company has anything to do with it and for that matter where he got it.
The only identifiable marking on the guitar is the word, “California” written in cursive on the headstock. That’s it, nothing else… ziltch, nada.
All he said was, “A friend of mine gets em’ for me.”
It has the usual Stratocaster cliche’s, single coil pickups made somewhere unknown, somewhat obvious maple headstock, plastic here and there, nothing really expensive looking. I bought it on the premise that it sounded amazing. That’s about it. Still, I want to know where it came from and who made it. It’s such a wonderful instrument.
Here it is, http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/24/l_47c65c3e61064399917935bb7ea4320d.jpg
This of course after I, like an idiot colored sharpie marker all over the damn thing… which actually turned out good because I used acetone to make the guitar a cool forest green color afterward but that isn’t the point, now is it?
WHO IS CALIFORNIA GUITARS?
THIS ISN’T A FENDER CALIFORNIA
THIS ISN’T A SQUIRE CALIFORNIAI’ve seen and played those, they are nice. Good tone, all that jazz.
However this is not that.Who knows? I hope you guys do.
