I got there just as Dick Dale was unplugging his guitar. But I did get to see an all-girl, Swedish, sister rockabilly group. 'The Slap Tones.' Wow! Fender also just bought Gretsch, so yeah, it would be pretty easy to go broke there for me too. Not that I don't love Fender. Sounds like you have some pretty cool guitars Kahuna. The teles were in fact hand painted by Shag. In fact there is a pull-out poster in the Fender catalog showing Shag at work on 'em. I'm not sure if he chose to paint on a Telecaster because that's what he plays or if that's just what they gave him to work on. He used to play guitar and banjo in my buddy's band the Swamp Zombies. I think that most of that band is now the Tiki Tones.
