So this is a story (and search for) the one that got away... you know the one that was just "right"?
Somewhere around 1984-87, in St. Louis (don't remember which store, but it was a big shop, maybe Sam Ash?). Here is what I remember:
Was either Custom 22 or 24
Nickle Hardware
Stop Tailpiece
Birds Inlay
Now the mystery part:
The paint job was blue with a "speckled" finish... little black pain splatter/dots all over the body - front, back, sides, neck, headstock. If memory serves this was early enough that "10 tops" where a huge rarity, and full painted seems the norm.
Does anyone remember what that finish was called? I have searched high/low and can't find pictures or descriptions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can't find one for sale, I will have one built if it is possible.
Thanks!
Steve
