i dont know if any of you remember a few months ago when i asked about a certain guitar i saw on craigslist. it was cross between a telecaster, esquire, p-bass, and a fat strat. someone told me what it was and a fire was lit under me. since then, everytime i saw one on craigslist, i was either too broke or too late to scoop it up. but then... but then this one showed up like a beacon of light from the heavens. the only color i really ever considered. and it was from someone that had bought three of them and set two aside in a humidified vault for the next three years. yes... mint condition. unplayed. plugged in maybe twice to check if the electronics still work. even had the plastic on the pickguard and the humbucker still. this was a FIND. this was put up for sale for the COLLECTOR, since, in its condition and the fact that they were discontinued would only rise in value over time.
but alas, i am not a collector. never really have been. and i believe that an instrument is made to be PLAYED, and not admired. so i bought her. and considering her condition and the fact she also came with a tweed hard shell case, i think i got her for a great price, but still had to beg for the extra cash to purchase her.
i now present to you... SHIELA. my brand new, 3yr old squire 51 blonde.
