LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #43

This makes my stomach ache just looking at it. I read a post on Facebook from Lee Roy Parnell (great country guitarist) that he is going through the same thing, as are many of our fellow bretheren. Maybe the guys at the shop can help out in some way till you can acquire a new axe?

thanks guys. it's crazy--lot's of destruction. hollowbodys are all really ugly. even the solidbody laklands all have warped necks, brown stains from the river/sewage water soaking into them, and cracked bodys (not finish--the wood!!) from the wood swelling up. drying out now just to make them a little less gross, they're all a total loss...

My multiple Lakland Collection will probably need to wait until people are paying me to be an engineer as apposed to now, when I'm paying to learn how to be an engineer. Being a poor married college student leads to a small bass arsenal. That being said, when I graduate, I already plan to ask for a Lakland for my graduation present from someone ( some may say that it's a lot to ask for, but considering I'm paying for my school, and my parents are paying for my sisters private christian college education, they should be able to swing it). I've got a couple years to decide :D

I can't wait till I get that first paycheck out of school and we're still living on $30K a year. Bass Heaven.
I'm sure your patience will be well-rewarded, Payton. Wow, with a tuition-payment discrepancy like that, you ought to push for a US Lakie.:D
