Redd Volkaert & the new Lentz....

[Zane]

I went down Austin way the other night, just to see Redd play...He was picking on a Lentz that Scott sent down to get some "TEXAS on it " ...GREAT show & what a GREAT guy...here's a few pix

For all of the great pictures people post, these are the best. For me it's how it looks when it's being played. (The Hamer headstock is a perfect example of something that looks stupid until someone's playing it and the neck is pointing right at you.)

I used to think the new Lentz was ugly, but I was wrong. The headstock and body go together smashingly.

Red is a wonderful player, and the blue Lentz that I played was fabulous!

They're Lentz pups ...Scott winds 'em himself
They're Scotts version of "T" style pups...
the other "new Lentz" designs have L-90's that Scott designed from the ground up

Oh and here's a pix of Cindy Cashdollar

I was playing my Lentz unplugged yesterday, man what a huge bass response, it really sings. Just what the single coils want.

Check out Redd's fingers....friggin' things look like cucumbers....but MAN can that guy play! I saw him once at an Arlington guitar jam. He was just phenomenal!

Cindy sure looks better than Redd! Cashdollar is a great name. It can't be her real last name.

Remember Burl Ives? Redd looks like he could be his son. You don't get more blue collar looking than Redd. Son of a gun can play a geetar! Don't really matter what make/type he plays.

I went to SXSW in Austin this year for the first time. Caught Redd several times, and he is one awesome Tele picker! You're right about his hands, they're huge... he had a hat on most of that week that made him look like Bluto from the Popeye cartoons...

I didn't see Cindy Cashdollar, but did catch Carolyln Wonderland, awesome singer/guitarist with a great stage name...

I see on Redd's web site that he's gonna film a DVD & a teaching DVD on 11/5/05 at the continental Club in Austin,,,I have his last DVD & it is KILLER....can't wait for the new one...

put some Texas on it? Sounds like he got what he asked for

Red and Cindy combo sounding pretty good...

Of course we'll overlook the fact that Redd is from Canada...

Lots of famous "Texasans" came from somewhere else...Sam Houston...David Crocket...Stephen F. Austin...Jim Bowie...etc...;^)
