That’s my Fender ’62 reissue blonde olympic white strat with mint-green pick guard, one of my favorite guitars. The photo was taken a few years ago when I was playing with NN+ in New York. And yes, that’s a fake black-eye: we all dressed as injured tennis players for that particular Halloween show. ;-)
I’ll be playing that axe tomorrow night with my new Americana group the Grapes at Zenbu in La Jolla through my brother’s Fender Twin.
Owned by my highschool friends the Rimels, Zenbu is one of me and Tracie P’s all-time fav places for sushi. Hope to see you there! Should be a fun time. We start around 9 p.m…
Tracie needs to take over wardrobe selection.
Olympic white, mint pickguard, clay dots, spaghetti logo, nice axe!
@Mike and @Arbiter you’re both right…
That’s not blonde, that’s white. Maybe I am mistaken, but I always thought that when it came to Fender’s “blonde” implied the yellow-tinged wood-grain finish. (I dig your site, btw.)
Mike C, you’re entirely right…

I just like calling her “blonde”… ;-) thanks for stopping by Do Bianchi… :-)
