Brought back an Old Friend

[pwfirst]

I play in church every sunday and rotate my guitars so they all get played. This month my 1972 Fender Ultra was my choice. Most of you probably have never seen one of these guys, It was Fender's try to make a Gibson like guitar. One little toggle makes it sound like a Strat and the other way sounds like a LP. I had forgot how nice it is to play a vintage guitar, they have a special feel and sound that newer guitar lack.

I have and I very nearly bought one but ..... I didn't really know what it was

Robben Ford plays one of these I think or a custom build of one

I need an old friend like that. But I'm really hot for a LP Deluxe right now.
