Well that is just way too awesome!
A bunch of us did the same thing for another fabulous forum friend at another PRS site.
This just goes to show you what a bunch of incredible people we hang around with.
Love
You
All
Sergio, I know you'll forever have some kind of stupid a$$ grin on your face every time you pick her up. That says it all.

I figured that was emotion and not a director's art film idea...

Mine was stable, but only because of Google's Pixel XL stabilization magic!!

 

[CatStrangler]

Damn that guitar is hot.

 

[rugerpc]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the blue case. Take THAT, you blue hater.

And NO, you are NOT allowed to ditch the case and put it in something else.

That's a package deal - wedded forever!

Thanks to all those who made this happen, and for reaching out and including me even though I haven't been around much lately.

Bill was right when he said he was getting "happiness" on Monday. I got some too.

 

[DISTORT6]

For the record, the first thing he played was Slayer....

YEEESSS!!!!!
It was only proper.

Congrats, Serge!

 

[rugerpc]

Damn these onions!

And now...for some fun ones...

Sergio takes a picture of his newly acquired axe!

I asked Sergio if he still had his 2013 Foosball shirt I made for him...of course he does!!! Check out that wear, son!!!

And now the story can be told...

Way back on November 10, I got a PM from CatStrangler. He wanted to get the White Westie in Sergio's hands. So, we started making inquiries...

On November 11, Shawn tracked it down and gave us details on how it had to happen.

On November 12, we got a deal made with Doug Diamond at Wile West Guitars.

On November 12, I started a fantasy thread on how people would like to see the White Westie finished hoping Sergio would chime in with his favorite specs. On November 13, he did and the list was passed to Doug to do what he could.

CatStrangler sent a down payment to Doug and things started happening.

With some help form James, the IT guy at PRS, and some list snooping, I put together over 100 PMs informing the regulars about the project.

The nut was officially cracked last week and the guitar was to be shipped to Bodia.

I started this thread where we could openly tease Sergio without him having a clue what we were on about...

Bodia got it on Friday and called Sergio to arrange a meet today on the pretense of looking at his KL.

The video above is the result of that meet.

I'm sure we will see and read more, but the Westie is in the hands of the only guy on the planet who can really, really appreciate it and love it.


Over 100 PMs went out. I don't have a list of who did or did not contribute or how much - and just as importantly, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

Not knowing makes you all winners in my book.

Well done!

You forgot the part where Doug and I were just talking about this and the guitar showed up at WWG with no warning (Thanks Tina). At that point this was going to happen. Congrats Serge!

 

[rugerpc]

OK, we need some porn (close up) pics of this guitar... top, fretboard, back, head stock, head stock back... you know, the beauty shots!


...don't let Sergio take the pics.

 

[pac90]

You lot are crazy and I love it. Sergio looks like the inverse of his posts, I bet that was a suprise. Freeking love that show. May you all live long healthy lives and win that lotttery

Peace bros. Excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA!

I didn't know it got there before Doug was committed!
