Hi James, | |||
First of all, thank you for your generous offer to build a guitar for Rivers. Sorry it took us some time to | |||
respond. As far as technical specs (I don’t know much about technical stuff), he likes the look and feel of a | |||
Fender Stratocaster, but prefers the sound of the Gibson SG (which is what he mostly uses these days). He’s not | |||
that concerned about technical specs though, especially since he’s only playing guitar on a few songs for these | |||
upcoming tours. | |||
I know there is not enough time to build a custom guitar, but would it be possible to get one of the existing models | |||
you suggested with a custom paint job? He would love to play this guitar at the show in Korea. As far as design, | |||
he suggested some or all of the following: | |||
1. The distinctive reddish color of the Korean National Team jersey | |||
2. “Be the Reds” from the World Cup 2002 shirts (not sure if there would be copyright issues with using this) | |||
3. Tiger | |||
4. The swooshy design from the 2006 Korean football supporters club shirt | |||
5. Korean flag | |||
I did a quick mock-up of using some of these elements, but can you let me know if it’s even possible and we can go | |||
from there? | |||
Thanks! | |||

The crowd was also treated to the classics, including Undone, The Good Life, My Name Is Jonas, Say It Aint So, and Buddy Holly. Between those, the newer tracks like Pork And Beans, a cool "demo demonstration" rendition of "Island In The Sun", and a special selection of mashed-up covers and Korea-specific material, the overall effect was pretty epic. The 5 piece configuration is working out very well so far, with Josh Feese handling many of the drum duties, freeing up Pat to jump in on guitar and vocals, which frees up Rivers to do his thang, which he is doing quite well. Korea, we shall return! | The crowd was also treated to the classics, including Undone, The Good Life, My Name Is Jonas, Say It Aint So, and Buddy Holly.
