(This is part 2 of the story of how and why I bought this highly modified 30 years shredder guitar... See previous post for part 1) When I was about 17 yo, I got a Washburn N2 @nunobettencourtofficial signature guitar... After all this time I still remember the feel of the wooden body and how different the neck felt from the previous guitar I had which was very intriguing... Sadly I wasn't able to tell if I liked it or not since the vibrato had an issue which got me to return the guitar to the store 2 weeks later and trade it for a cheap Les Paul copy (insert hashtag #worstdecisionever ). I looked for those on the 2nd hand market several times over the years, and did so once again last summer. Found some on Reverb and followed some of the listings, including this very guitar. I had no real reason to get one at the time and not knowing if I'd still like the guitar, I forgot about them.. Until I found them back after thinking a Floyd Rose equipped guitar could be an interesting tool for atmospheres, texture creation and extended playing techniques. By then, the price of this guitar had dropped quite a bit. Not surprising since it's been heavily modified with a steel pickguard (which I think ruins the very charm of a bare-wood guitar) and a contoured headstock (I think it looks rather cool actually). Both are a great way to kiil the resale value of a 30+ year guitar ! (This model is still under production but the quality has nothing to do with those early models). Weeks went on and the price dropped a bit more, and again, and again... I decided that if it goes down to "this" price, I'd buy it. And it did.. so I emailed the seller to ask him general questions about the condition of the guitar and the, most probably not-original black vibrato. He confirmed everything was good and playable and said the vibrato was a Schaller... Oh ! Schaller Floyd Rose vibratos are among the best on the market so it was very good news. A click later, I had purchased a shredder guitar, the one I should have had since when I was a teenager.

So about 5 months ago me, my mom and my little sister decided to move in with my big sister. Now we’re from Phoenix and my sister lives in Buckeye, that’s about a 30 minute drive just to go anywhere close to Phoenix. Anyway we moved in because our rent was getting ridiculously high and we were barely able to afford it and we thought we would be able to save money for maybe a couple years and buy our own house…we thought WRONG! See my sister has this boyfriend that’s been living off her for years. And so far in the 16+ years they’ve been together he hasn’t helped my sister or pay any bills (except cable since he likes watching sports), and has been cheating on her for more or less two years. And just about a week ago we found out that she chose him over her own son. More details later to come

That face when it's after 6pm and you've attempted to give up coffee. I believe it's time for a cup right now. #worstdecisionever #ibleedcoffee
