Dream Guitar =
1. Custom built to my exact specs
2. Free of charge
3. NEVER (yes NEVER) needs tuning (remains in PERFECT PITCH)
4. NEVER have to change any strings . . . they remain in perfect condition.

Practice is the arm that enables you reach for the prize...

...or is it the nose that lets you sniff the armpit of perfection....

.....maybe it's the leg that enables you to hop over the sand trap of banality....

....er, anyway practice is good.

Ooh, there's a story behind that....

...but I don't know it!

Actually I do. Apparrently Chris has had the body of his famous white Ricky shaved down so it's very light and has given it that very 'middly' tone that cuts through in the mix. There isn't a single guitar that sounds quite like it (although Dave Meros of Spock's beard has built a ricky that sounds close I'm told).

Unfortunately as you might know from other posts on this site I am living in the dark ages and I can`t post pictures as I don`t have a scanner. We only use our crappy Optiquest computer for e-mail & searching the for the odd thing on the internet. The only sites I visit are this one , official King Crimson (I read Fripp`s Diary all the time) and the official Gentle Giant. As for my strat it`s more scatched up and worn away than anything else although it could use new machine heads and it hasn`t been re-stringed for almost 7 or eight years. Sometimes I let my dogs play it. I put it on the floor and crank everything up and let them go nuts. I should video tape one of their performances and send it to Dave Letterman as an entry for stupid pet tricks.
