    To see and hear you play the guitar and the flute is an experience in itself..very healing. Look forward for both very soon.

    Hey JP!
    Those are two different ones; the first one is a steinberger spirit, whose paint I scraped off, and replaced the pickups with emg 85-sa-85, but left the wooden neck on. The second one was a spirit gu7r custom whose flame maple veneer i scraped off (to dad’s alarm!), hollowed out a couple of chambers in the body and covered them with brushed steel plates (thanks dad!); put a moses graphite neck (hey i did all of this myself!) and finally had a tech install Joe Barden pickups. These two guitars are now with friends. I currently play a white Steinberger GM7SA and a red Steinberger Synapse Transcale 🙂
    Hope you are doing well; i may have a homemade custom strat soon, shall post it on your blog 🙂
    cheers
    vikram

    My dear Vikram Bhaiyya,
    This is about the info posters pasted on walls in public places like sub-ways.These posters invariably contain Guruji’s foto. When these posters are pealed out from the wall, it pains me to see Guruji’s face also torn off.In my opinion these posters should not bear Guruji’s foto. Your advise to AOL at large.

    With love + regards,

    S.Srinivasan
