    Shoulder pain and dead arm

    Sounds exactly like what I got a month or so ago, was diagnosed as an issue with my radial nerve that had slowly built up over time and was just triggered/pinched with an instance of sudden extra use. Have had to go see a physiotherapist regularly, a sports massage program, implement...

    40 years later...won't 2014 MIAs be worth thousands?

    I still think 2008s will be in demand in a few decades, being the year that Fender drastically revamped its MIA line for the better. Wish I bought one at the time.
