Does it cost extra to get this guitar repaired?


(Walter Hutcherson at Musical Exchange will fix anything)

I mean, those colors are completely off. An orange and purple confederate flag? YELLOW??? As they say, there is no accounting for taste. But let’s wish the proud Stratocaster owner luck in his (come on, this certainly belongs to a dude) continued fight against Yankee oppression. And if this flag really represents the preservation of southern traditions, like stuffing zip lock bags full of Rebel Yell down my pants every Saturday afternoon in the fall, then hell yeah, count me in.

Additionally, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you to please shop locally this Christmas season.  Walter runs Musical Exchange at 123 North Loop. He’s my guitar guy and he is the best. He also sells strings, picks, cables and necessary stuff like that. My amp guy, the super friendly Jon Bessent sits right across him. John can fix anything, and he makes the terrific Austone pedals that Billy Gibbons, Mike Campbell, and Tom freaking Petty use. And ladies – neither of these guys will talk down to you or think you’re bringing in your boyfriend's gear, unless, of course, it’s as stupidly fugly as the one in the picture.

P.S.  Somehow blogger has corrected the colors on the "flag", but I swear, in person and in iphoto that sucker is orange and purple.
