Yep....both the cost, and the scarcity of certain woods...combined with the market being flooded with cheap Chinese clones of well-known brands....Fender, Gibson, etc., is decimating the instrument business.
....And they've brought it on themselves for the main part, they've priced themselves out of contention. I bought a Fender-clone a little while back, and to all intents & purposes it's every bit as good as it's Japanese/American "genuine article" counterpart.... only it's a fraction of the price.
.... Still can't believe I bought a Fender though - what a traitor.

Nowt at all....or at least nothing to write home about.
It's going to be 90F for the next few days, so I guess I'm just going to stay at home & watch TV, play music, etc.
I'm a bit bored, to be honest.

Still suffering from the side effects of the vaccine.

Guess I'll just have to have another cuppa and spend the day on the PlayStation then!

Off to the doc to get a referral for another MRI

Getting a regression in feeling in my arm, and while I’ve been managing it with my rehab exercises, my live in training nurse and my physio have badgered me into getting a follow up scan.

Also getting some building repairs done on my house today and the builder has just set up in my driveway before I had a chance to get my car out, so I might jump on the Thruxton as I’ll be able to sneak that out around him.

Haven’t been on either bike since my ticket.
