OK. How many will agree?

It's a song about me!

Just another reason to avoid finely crafted instruments - I'm not cheap, I don't want to insult that expensive instrument....

I've become very good at certain aspects of creating fine instruments, to where I have a few of the real local pros playing a few of my creations. Maybe someday I'll be good enough to justify owning the instruments I've made for myself - I'm not a hack, and I am hard at work getting better, but the instruments are not limiting me. My "backup rationale" is I'm keeping them in good enough shape that and helping them age and mature gracefully, so that, when I pass on, someone with awesome chops will get to use them.

Last night I went to see my friend sing. She's in a blues duo. Her guitarist is Barry Levinson. He was the last guitarist in Canned Heat. I know him a little bit now. I asked if I could bring my Stratocaster to a show for a couple songs. I told him I wanted my Strat to know what it was like to be played by a pro, at least once in it's life. He just laughed and said, he'd be happy to do it for a couple songs. He's done it before.

Good timing on this thread.

I feel this! When i first started playing bass -it was an old extra red Fender squire the guitarist had in the corner-probably from some shaggy garage sale or what not.
That thing was hard as hell to play. About a year later I bought a Geddy Lee sig jazz. It was like excalibur! It almost felt like it played itself!

crappy

HAPPY!!
