Last night was Kashmir's first night out at a gig at a little local bar. Some notes:
1 - Raw wood necks are GREAT! I usually have problems with sweat build-up on my hands causing my hand to stick to the neck. The raw Canary neck on Kashmir eliminated this problem completely, even under the hot lights while wearing a heavy Scully cowboy shirt. I sense more raw wood necks in my future...
2 - Kashmir was very well behaved. It stayed in tune perfectly all night even after 4 sets of thrashing and excessive B-Bending. Well done!
3 - Boat neck contours are very nice. Even at the end of the forth set I didn't have any hand pain and not much fatigue. More boat necks in my future as well.
4 - Several people came up to examine it. Here's some comments:
"The neck looks really worn - like it's gone to Kandahar and back" (The grain on the neck makes it look really played in)
"I love the tone, and the bender is great!"
"wow - that's a really beautiful finish"
"I'll give you $3000 for that guitar right now" (this was from a drunk mind you. I declined
)
Oh - and the gig was fun and we had a good sized pleasant crowd of beer drinkers. We played well, had fun, the bar made money, and we walked away with a nice chunk of change. All in all a fun night.
