THIS IS MY SCHECTER STORY IT MAY NOT BE THE MOST EXCITING OF THEM ALL AND MAY EVEN SOUND CONTRITE TO SOME BUT IT DEFINATETLY GRAB EVERYONE WHO READS IT ATTENTION. |
|||
TWO SUMMERS AGO I WAS OUT SHOPPING FOR A NEW GUITAR AND STOPPED AT THE GUITAR CENTER IN ROSEVILLE TO CHECK OUT THE WALLS FOR ANYTHING THAT GRABBED MY EYE. AS I WAS SCOPING FOR THAT UNDISCOVERED DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH AND MY 4 & 1/2 YR. OLD DAUGHTER WAS AMUSING HERSELF TURNING DIALS ON A PROCESSOR SOME POOR SAP WAS TRYING TO GET THE PERFECT TONE FROM (HE COULD'NT FIGURE OUT WHY HIS SETTINGS WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE). IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND A GEM THAT I HAD BEEN LUSTING AFTER FOR YEARS. THERE IT WAS, AN ICON OF TONAL PERFECTION SHINING ABOVE ALL ELSE!OR AT LEAST WHAT I THOUGHT TO BE AT THAT TIME. A MINT PRS DRAGON HANGING IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THE MAINSTAYS AND MIDLINE PRODO'S THAT SEAMED TO PERMEATE EVERY SHOP THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN IN. QUICKLY I TOOK IT OFF THE WALL, PLUGGED IT IN TURNED IT UP And FORGOT ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND ME! HEAVEN, ELECTRICAL ECSTASY TONE TONE AND MORE RICHG FULL BEUATIFUL TONE ENVELOLPING ME. THAT IS UNTIL I HAPPENED TO CACTH A GLIMPSE OF SYDNEY PICK SOMETHING UP AND WAS BRINGING IT TO ME. MORE LIKE RUN FALLING THAN BRINGING. I SPUN AROUND JUST AS SHE LOST HER GRIP AND FELL DOWN. SURREAL IS THE ONLY DESCRIPTION I CAN COME UP WITH HERE. |
|||
AS SYDNEY WAS FALLING SHE WAS ALSO TELLING ME TO PLAY THE ONE SHE WAS CARRYING BECUZ IT IN HER WORDS "IT'S PRETTY DADDY." I REACHED OUT GRABBED SYD, STOPPING HER FROM SMASHING INTO A RACK FULL OF LOOSE GEAR WITH A GUARENTEED SPLITTING HEADACHE. TO SAY THE LEAST. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SAVING THE GUITAR SHE HAD FROM EL KABONG LAND. I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE DRAGON AND ITS FATE AS TO TAKE THE RESCUEDS PLACE ON THE SCRATCH TRACK. |
|||
WHEN I LOOKED AT MY LITTLE GIRL I NOTICED SHE HAD A HUGE GRIN ON HER FACE & SAID "SEE DADDY, I TOLD YOU IT WAS PRETTY. PLAY THIS ONE DAD, PLAY THIS ONE." |
|||
AS I LOOKED AROUND FULLY EXPECTING TO BE USHERED OUT THE DOOR IN NO TIME I COME FACW TO FACE WITH THE STORE MGR. BEFORE I COULD SAY A WORD HE ASKED IF I WOULD LIKE TO PLUG IN & CHECK OUT THE "PRETTY" SHREDDER. DUMBFOUNDED I MUMMBLED SURE/ HE THEN LEAD US BACK TO A SOUND ROOM AND PROCEEDED TO SAY TO TURN UP AS LOUD & PLAY AS LONG AS I WANTED TO. |
|||
APPARRENTLY HE WITNESSED & HEARD THE WHOLE FIASCO OF THE GUITAR DOWNPOUR. |
|||
WE MUST HAVE STAYED THERE PLAYING THIS PIECE OF DESTINY FOR ANOTHER THREE HOURS OR SO BEFORE REALIZING HOW TIME HAD PASSED, NOW BEING WHEN TO HANG IT UP SO WE COULD PICK UP HER BROTER & MY WIFE BEFORE HEADING TO THE HOMESTEAD. |
|||
A SHORT FEW MONTHS LATER MY BABY GIRL GOT SICK, WAS HOSPITALIZED & ALL I COULD THINK OF HER.I DIDNT GO HOME, GO TO WORK,OR EVEN SLEEP. I KNEW SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAD GOTTEN A HOLD OF MY BOO AND DIDN'T WANT TO LET GO. SHE HAD SO MUCH PAIN AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. WHAT KIND OF OF DADDY WAS I? HER WHOLE LIFE I TOLD THAT I WOULD NEVER LET ANYTHING EVER HARM HER. AND HERE IT WAS & I FAILED! I FAILED WHEN IT COUNTED MOST! |
|||
SHE DIED 5 WEEKS LATER. EVEN AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH EXPECTATIONS OF FULL RECOVERY. SHE DIED.DEVASTAED!!!!!!!!!FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE EXCEPT HER. BURYING MYSELF DEEP INSIDE SO NOTHING COULD REACH ME AGAIN, DIDN'T WANT TO FEEL ANYTHING ANYMORE. |
|||
THEN ONE DAY I STOPPED AT MY LOCAL LUTHIER, WHY I DON'T KNOW BUT I DID. LOOKING AROUND NOTHING CAUGHT MY EYE SO I ASKED IF THEY CARRIED SCHECTER. HE SAID NO BUT KNEW SOMEONE WHO DID & ASKED WHICH MODEL I WAS LOOKING FOR. I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME SO I DESCRIBED IT TO HIM. HE MADE A CALL, HANDED ME THE PHONE AS I HEARD THAT HE HAD ONE IN STOCK THAT CAME IN TODAY. |
|||
COULDN'T BE TRUE, I COULDN'T GET THAT LUCKY TO FIND THE ONLY ONE IN THE TWIN CITIES AT THE TIME WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. BUT IT WAS. AS I WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR OF CAPITOL GUITARS IT WAS LYING ON THE COUNTER WITH THE FINISHING PREP BEING FINALIZED. |
|||
BILLY SAID HELLO TO ME A COUPLE OF TIMES CUZ I WAS COULDNT BELIEVE IT. TOLD WHO I WAS AND WHY THIS PARTICULAR PIECE. HE RESPONDED WITH "HEY MAN, I KNOW THE OWNER, I CAN GET YOU A SWEET DEAL" A MAN NAMED ERIC HANDED ME MY DESTINED HARDWIRE HARDWARE IN THE GUISSE OF A CS-1 CLASSIC WITH GOLD HARDWARE AND ABALONE,MOTHER OF PEARL INLAY. |
|||
TURNED OUT HE DID GET ME A SWEET DEAL. THESE GUYS ARE THE OWNERS. LITTLE DID THEY KNOW HOW SWEET IT WAS. THEY GAVE ME BACK A PART OF ME, PART OF MY DAUGHTER AND A KICK ASS MEMORY THAT ONLY GETS BETTER EACH TIME I PICK IT UP CUZ I'M HOLDING A PART OF SYDNEY AGAIN. THANKS ERIC AND BILLY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO HEIGHTS ONLY SYDNEY COULD REACH!!!!!!!!!! YOUR THE BEST, WHAT THIS MEANS I CANT PUT TO WORDS. BY THE WAY THE INLAY SYDNEY LOVED SO MUCH IS CALLED THE "VINE OF LIFE" AND SHE WAS BORN IN THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON. |
