Maybe Gibson should make a couple of 9/11 models.....

As if people don't feel bad enough about 9/11 already. :shock:

I found myself in similar straits about 8 years ago--unemployed, and the rent kept coming due. Ended up selling my ONLY guitar at the time--my FIRST real electric--the '64 Fender Jaguar I'd had for over 20 years. Still stings to this day, but it was the right thing to do at the time.
You're doing ...

On the brighter side, I believe that each one is a one-off. Thank god if they won't be turning up in my neighborhood.

From the manufacturer's web site:
"After going on brief display at a Fender event in California in mid-September, Eric Clapton will play the guitars during fall dates on his 2011 ...

I'm not quite as offended after reading the whole story on Fender's website--at least they're not going to be some kind of mass-production.
I suppose it's for a good cause, but still.....just doesn't seem quite right.

I've done a fair amount of business with MF over the past few years.
Reasonable prices, and they've NEVER charged me a cent for shipping to overseas military addresses.
They even re-sent a shipment that had gotten lost in the military postal system--about $200 worth of stuff. Didn't even make me ...

Wasn't that that famous British Punk band from another decade ?

Hmmmm.....could be--consisting of Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Planer & Rik Mayall perhaps?

Gotta agree with her on this one. It's a GUITAR. It won't collect dust if you play it!

Obviously, you've never been to my house!

Rest assured, I'm already working on that!!
