Two That Are Unique
When I was learning to play (and am still learning) I knew I would need a back-up instrument. I bought this from a pawn shop in Bastrop with no idea what it was except that is was designed for metal bands. This is a B .C. Rich Mockingbird, and boy oh boy was it fucked up. I only paid 60 bucks for it and had no idea how bad off it was. Unplayable. Stop tail bridge. So I took it apart and was going to re-finish it when my neighbor, Ed Rodriguez, stepped in and said no, no, No! I'll do it. Ed is the head finish man at Collings Guitar and this is what I got back. That is a color shift metallic red that this pic does not do credit to. This is a 1700 dollar paint job. Ed did this on his own time and his own nickel. I bought him a half gallon of cheap tequila in return.
This is a new Bianchi gunbelt that I bought from a clueless thrift store for 2 $. The clasp and ring are off an Italian lady's belt, and they are modeled after a Roman swordbelt. The bling and conchos are off of belts I tore down for the metal, much much cheaper than buying from Tandy. This thing is very heavy and looks great over a coat or just plain skin. It is highly adjustable and as stout as it can get, of course. I used to have all this on an old leather police belt, but that got all tore up so I reworked it. I really like this!
It also looks good with clothing.
