i'm totally gutted :-(

damn dude, I lost my job of 6 years a couple years back when the economy over here tanked. After being unemployed for over 6 months I started to get really down, My parents had to open their doors to my girlfriend and I. sold off all my previous collection of guitars, hope was getting lost. Their wasnt much ouut there for sales management and I couldnt find a good paying job so I decided to start looking into retraining for something else. I decided to look into getting a CDL( dont know if its the same whhere you are but its a commercial drivers license) After getting trained for 5 months(at this point unemployed for almost a year and a half) I had my cdl to drive the bigs rigs! 1 month after getting it I landed a sweet local job with great paying company. I have been happily employed for the past year and a half/made 60k my first year and have been asked by my company to represent them in the truck driving regional championship this year. And now I can say I truely enjoy what Im doing where as before i hated every day I had to go into a sales situation. I am starting to rebuild my guitar colllection etc etc. Anyways, after all this banter, everyone goes through a tough time where we can lose hope, but we as people can pull through.

dude - i literally JUST had to do the same thing. it stinks...but as everyone says, life is tough....to own guitars as nice as these is a privilege. If we need to pay the bills, but can't get rid of our guitars, what good are we to our families?

Chin up, things often have a way of working immensely in out favor!

keep your head up, hang in there and best of luck on the sales. do you have a guitar that you still play or is everything going?
