Fender Rentals at Hard Rock Hotel

Stayed for one evening at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Studios in Orlando this week, and they had an interesting "amenity".

In exchange for a $1000 security refundable security deposit, they will bring a Fender instrument and practice amp to your room. There were 20 choices available, mostly strats and teles, as you would expect, but also a Jazz bass and a MIM Dimension. I chose the Dimension, which played great, but, unfortunately, had 2 dead 9-volts in it, so could not try it plugged in. (The amp provided was a Squier guitar practice amp anyway, so...not missing much...)

An interesting perk, though...
