So, after years of playing, I am without a guitar...

...shit. ???

Figured I'd log in here to let off some steam and explain why I've been so quiet. Went through some hard times - laptop gave in, had a car towed, lost the car, got major surgery and lost 1/2 my stomach, then moved and needed money for a deposit in a hurry (all in a year's time) so I had to sell The Gear.

The main casualty? Black 90s USA Strat. Bought her after coveting that specific Strat as the Strat of Strats for...say, hell, five years? Right after a Band o Gypsys gig.

Registering with SAMRO at the moment. Just 'cause I can't play them right now doesn't mean I don't still have the songs in my head... For now, been doing a lot of writing (incl. some published horror)

This year I've walked about the distance between JHB-CPT and back. Seems like all I need now is to go blind and I'll have a full blues album to tell... :?

Man, oh man, oh man, oh man...

Requesting some guitar pron for a pick-me-up. ?

    Hiya Alex, hopefully someone here will have a dusty old axe lying somewhere that they can help you out with.

      Man, that would be great... With a Little Help from My Friends? ? If anyone on here can help me out, I'll stick a page up on my website with pictures and a personal thanks. Plus, I'll be able to get my rear into gear again and start playing some music again.

        stoffeltoo has let me know he has an unplayed Squier for me, and I've been trying to arrange collection...

        ...up until five minutes ago, when he let me know he sold it to an offer he "couldn't refuse".

        Gee, thanks, dude. ☹

        Anyone out there who has anything I can start playing on again, just get in touch. Cheers.
