Good one Jim nice to read about the scale length effect and differences between Les Pauls and Strats and of course the String types and even plectrums and the gear as used by some. Wow Dick Dale 14's .. eek blimey and all that... what a man.. :D

You know... I actually MET Dick Dale last year (courtesy of the great Abel Khineche). It was on his boat at Balboa (Orange County).
