As I mentioned a little while ago, I recently bought a guitar. I purchased it on ebay and though the transaction went very smoothly, I only today had the chance to listen to it plugged in. Turns out that my neighbour is a guitarsmith who does repairs and builds custom electric guitars. He gave it a complete once-over, adjusted the action, cleaned the pots and the pick-up selector switch and gave it a complete tuning, all the while chattering about this and that. Katy and I spent over an hour in his shed-turned-workshop while he worked – for free – just to be neighbourly.
Well, dang!
Also, it turns out that I got myself a good little guitar for a bargain!
Squee!
