A guy came in to work today looking for some guitar parts, and we spent about 15 minutes looking at parts and talking shop. He mentioned that he was restoring a Les Paul-type guitar and needed a bridge humbucker. He said he was interested in the '59 model, and based on the sound he wanted I showed him a '59 and suggested the Pearly Gates as well. He wound up getting the Pearly Gates.
All told, he bought about $150 worth of parts total. Then he handed me his Credit Card and ID. I blinked when i saw the name. I asked him if he really was who his ID said he was. He said yes, then showed me his other ID card.
See the highlighted entry on the lower right of the page.
Just goes to show, you never know who's gonna walk through the door.
As I was ringing him up, I thought to myself, "Wait a minute, what is one of Fender's top guys doing asking some random GC employee for pickup advice?" He must have read my mind, as he said, "Thanks for the advice on the Duncans, you'd think I'd know more about these things, right?" and just gave a smile.
I shook his hand, said it was nice to meet him, wished him a Happy New Year, and that was that.
