Hey, Guys...

We are re-creating a collage-type Hendrix video for my cover of "Watchtower." I have a junk import neck with a broken truss rod, a bunch of bar magnet, import single coils that do not work and a crazy red splotchy tortoise shell GFS pick guard that is so ugly I have not been able to even give it away. What I need is a body and a bridge to create my prop for this video. I am not using ANYTHING that is useful. It's all basically junk that I have accumulated.

Here's the video we are going to base our production on:


This is the track we are using. It will be re-mastered and run through the BBE 482i Sonic maximizer before being used in the video, but here is the un-mastered version:

I'm looking forward to this project. I'm even considering putting a tablespoon of black powder on the pickguard so it will give a flash/smoke effect.

This is something really pivotal for me. I was mesmerized by Hendrix's performances as a kid, and recording his song "watchtower" was a lifetime achievement for me. Re-creating his video will be the final installment on my life-long dream of re-creating some of these famous scenes.

Thoughts???

Hey, that's kind of a cool rendition of the song. It's kind of like the original but more hard rock than the original class/psychedelic version. I'm a hendric fan and it may be influencing my opinion, but I think this one of the best songs I've heard you do.

If you don't get it tomorrow it will be the week of the 3rd through the 7th. I'm only in the office one day this week.

After the 7th it will be a no go for anything due to my rotator cuff surgery...

If I had the old strat body we gave away (damm) Sorry Robert it’s already gone!
I will ask around..
 
I have a junk body I can ship. It will need paint, as it's mostly stripped. Maybe split the cost of shipping, or something. Then maybe I can get dibs on the useful body that Sp8ctre has. I won't be home until Wednesday evening though. I'm actually on the road for the first time in ages. It's right handed.
