I have only one Fender left to sell!!! I've dumped three of them, one Jackson and a Yamaha in the last two weeks, unreal. The neighborhood teens are scooping them up...and I have a good lead on the last Fender. Now there are several empty stands in my music room...to be replaced by the new JP, the 20th silo and an Axis SS. This is gonna be fun. :)
 
I've gotten real lucky. Some kids in my area are taking up guitar at the same time. I heard about it through my oldest son and told him to see if they were looking for some American Fenders. The next thing I know there is a kid with Daddy knocking on my door every other day looking for a guitar.
At first I thought they were casing the joint and I'd come home to an empty music room but luckily that hasn't happened...yet.
The downside is that I promised lessons for them...I may regret that one...
 
I sold my Strat and Tele on ebay a few months ago and I haven't missed them once. Now if only my 20th Silo would arrive I'd lose every ounce of Gibson craving too... c'mon SLO!!!
 
I have one left that I will not sell because it was my high school graduation gift from my mom, and it was my main guitar for 20 years - a real road warrior. It's old and beat and could probably use a complete overhaul, but it's not going anywhere. I did dump a '65 Jag and another strat, which were good guitars, but just didn't interest me anymore. They weren't even in the same class as the MM guitars, so they just sat in their cases.

My JP6 is my main guitar now. My next electric will be another MM.

I'm a convert.

OK BP - if your ever in the Tampa Bay area, I'll make an exception - you can play my JP :D (I rarely let anyone - I'm like Nigel in Spinal Tap to Rob Reiner - "don't touch it, don't even look at it!)

We all love you guys at MM too.

Thanks for everything.
 
I have three, a tele and a strat that are going soon, but I will have to keep one strat sorry to say. Too special to me, there would be no replaceing it. I have to install a nut on the tele first though.... was trying those staggered USA tuners they had for a while and the break angle was so steep over the low E string that it cracked the nut in two underneath the string. I found out then the nut was just cheap plastic.

Love EBMM geetars!
 
I still have my Richie Kotzen tele. I love it because it dose not sound or play like any other fender!!!! And i am a big Kotzen fan.

It must be a great feeling to off-load these guitars and go shopping for more than 1 ball at a time.

Happy shopping!

I'm down to one last MIM Strat (which will be hitting ebay in the very near future), and a Carvin Bolt that I built from a kit. The Carvin is a keeper, for mostly sentimental reasons, but I can't see buying anything other than EBMM guitars in the future - the more the merrier!
 
shipped out my last fender today to england..........56 strat has been completely replaced by one killer featherweight blue pearl albert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fender free.......fender free..........
 
Fender Free

Wow! Just got a little lump in my throat, that was such a beautiful guitar and awesome refinish. You should try to keep track of it even though its gone. Once you earn your first Million playing with The Texas Heat you may wish to buy it back for sentimental reasons!

Why not post a pix of the new truck that Fender was surrendered for? Speaking of Texas Heat...who's yer pick for the big game on Sunday...Dallas or Phila?
 
Great tag idea...! Suits you and makes sense. You gotta post the pix once v-tag installed. What's this, no gig AGAIN on Friday night?

Yes!!! That was the one I was going to buy except the manager tried to push a PRS on me (at an ealier visit, and for about the 10th time. Likewise for the Edina store) so I won't go back there. I'm going to Willie's guitar this weekend to see what we can order.
