NGD: Whoa Black Betty Santana-lam!

[sergiodeblanc]

I had to have this:

I debated forever about this guitar, on one hand I argued that every time I played it meant that I wouldn't be playing the West St. or KL33, but on the other.... f@ck it! It's too hot to pass up, and you know... YOLO. And add to the fact that there were a couple of limited SE's that I've passed on in the past thinking that I could score them cheap on the used market, and then haven't found, this time I had to do it.... I just had to.

At first I wanted a pristine one, but then I realized that no matter what happened, what with the satin finish, it was gonna get scratched up, so I may as well save a pile of loot on the demo version that was less than what the Standard version is selling for.

There was also a "scientific purposes" excuse I could use, just to see how well it compares to all the other guitars that will be arriving at Santanafest. I'm gonna play it stock for a minute, but yes, there will be mods.

[dmatthews]

Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Awesome!

Saw that on Reverb or one like and wanted it!

Right? There's just something about it that made me powerless.

 

[dmatthews]

Is it satin on the backside too?

Everywhere. For now.

After hearing Sergio's Speedo story, the last thing we need to hear about now is satin on his backside.

I'm satin on my backside right now!
I think I need to stand up...

Right on, that's my baritone's soul sister! Same limited run anyway.

Yeah, we did talk about it, and I took your advice to buy it.

About boogie: I’m trying to lead by example.

Is that good or bad? Math scares me.

Yours helped push me over the edge. The first time I searched Sweetwater’s website for these was after your NGD post.

 

[László]

Pretty sweet, Serg!

 

[John Beef]

There's another one in the Dave's used section. I thought that was the one you got.
