I saw Nick Lowe jamming with Elvis Costello one time and he was playing a
metallic green Grestch semi-hollow body. Maybe Edmunds gave you Nick's
guitar because he wanted him to concintrate on his bass playing. Maybe it
was just a drunken prank? One time we crossed paths with Rockpile in the
airport in Detroit and it appeared that they all were drunk at 10 AM.

>1)  whatever happened to Dave Edmunds, anywho?

Cool new box set of his old sh*t sounds pretty good.

>2)  Did Fender ever make a hollow-bodied Stratocaster, and was there any that
>fits this description?

No, it was a Grestch I tell you.
