Just wanna say hi after a very long break, have missed GDC and especially fangirls.
Have put more of an explanation here
As I don't want to clog this thread.
So.. Hi!
Awesome! The Classic Series Fenders are great instruments!
Yeah I know what you mean, it gets expensive quick. I have two pickups I'm waiting to use, but every shop near me is backed up with repair orders.
I'm still debating if I want to make a replica guitar, its been on my backburner of ideas for awhile. I'm split between the Blue from the nimrod days in its current condition that Bill showed us or the '93 Black Fender. I always dug his more obscure guitars alongside original Blue of course.
Thanks! Right now I'm taking a break with this guitar. I've spent a lot of money so the SD bridge will wait
and yes it's a Fender Classic 50's Surf Green Strat.
This guitar is listed by a friend of mine. I got to know him last year through a mutual friend and I’ve helped him with a few things for it. He’s been asked by multiple people (even Hans!) if he was selling it as it is Billie’s guitar to spec (obviously in much better condition).
Also, there is someone in the UK who makes fantastic Blue replicas from all eras of the band, including Nimrod! https://www.ebay.com/itm/124303736247
I saw this on Reverb last night and thought it was pretty cool, even if the price is a bit high... https://reverb.com/item/35326932-fernandes-rst-1981-daphnie-blue?bk=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJqdGkiOiJmOTU2ZmJmMi1mY2ZkLTQwNTQtOGI0ZC04YjJlZjFmYjc3YzciLCJpYXQiOjE1OTgxMDI2MTEsInVzZXJfaWQiOiIiLCJzZXNzaW9uX2lkIjoiYTE5MzFjYWEtNGI1My00ZjYyLTk5MzEtOTg4NGI5NDJkYzlmIiwiY29va2llX2lkIjoiNDM3NWEyYTYtMDY5NS00YzRmLWFkMWUtNDdlODZiNTYxMWJmIiwicHJvZHVjdF9pZCI6IjM1MzI2OTMyIiwic291cmNlIjoiTk9ORSJ9.eL2GX7w7bXIP6uxtPv19xmCGIBaj5ziZuRd6j-M8ldg
Also, anyone know where I can get sticker replicas for the nimrod era? The BJ guitars site says they don't sell just the stickers. I bought a guitar from someone on Facebook yesterday and it's actually the first guitar I ever owned, I got it as an elementary school graduation present in 98, about a month after I saw green day on the nimrod tour. I thought it was so cool that I had the chance to buy it back after selling it in 2000, so I was thinking about making it look like Blue did back in 97/98
Ooh, his hair, eyes, hands, mouth, throat .......so much beauty in this, love this and the one about how stupid the iPad is, Billie Joe in full rant 😍😍😍
