This site (especially when members aren't trading insults or being smart arsed with each other.....!) can quite often turn up some interesting info. and characters......
Patrice, I remember coming across your name for the first time, credited as a source in the first guitar reference book I bought, after my teenage interest in guitars was re-kindled in 1990. It was in A.R. Duchossoir's excellent tome on the Fender Stratocaster. My copy of which has been well-thumbed & read over these past 20 odd years. Several guitars pictured within those pages are also credited to you. What an interesting story that you've contibuted & shared with us about that 'other' Fiesta Red guitar!
I also always look forward to reading any of Didier's posts as he is a mine of information in this area, refuses to be drawn into any 'cattiness' and someone that I regard as probably the most knowledgeable contributor to this site. Must be something about the French..........!
Stephen.
