Previously Owned Gear

Early '90s Fender Urge, Stu Hamm signaturemodel in Sherwood green. I loved the medium scale. It was a joy to play but it didn't take the hits very well and the electronics were a little suspect. I was young and playing rock for a living so I eventually ended up hocking it for rent money--regret that. Had a few other Urge since then but haven't ever recreated the magic.
