THANK YOU! Non musicians don't even know what a Nudie is. I don't think one friend has known what I was talking about, when I told them I bought a Nudie.
There are a few things I always search on Craigslist, before I head to Nashville. This was the first time there was a Nudie listed! It's a 40reg. He paid $2500 for it, and had it listed at $500. I tried lowballing him in email, and he wasn't budging, so I took an extra $500 with me. I met up with him, and fell in love, the second I saw it. Tried it on, and it couldn't BE a better fit. Fits me perfectly! He said, "that looks like a million bucks on you!" I said, I know. He said, "are you going to try and talk me down, now?". "Nope. I'm officially in love with it. Here you go!"
He had a short career in the 90's. One major label release, with two singles charting, and then it was over. He did write a #18 hit, for the band Lonestar, called "Heartbroke Everyday"(ironically, that song was the reason I bought a Tele with a B bender, back when it was a hit!).
