In the usual 12 step program you find God at the end of it, I guess the way my pedalboard is going I'm deep in Praise & Worship territory, but if thats where the universe wants me to be then who am I to stand in the way!

Sweetwater in the US? Last time I tried, a couple of years ago, they didn't ship to NZ.

They do now, some brands they can't ship here of course, but I had no issues :-)

It’s no longer in the mail, setting up with new strings and a fret polish now….

Clearly once sported an ashtray but no longer wanted, the owner filled the holes with seagull shit and scraped it down with a bastard file. Oh well, it all adds to the patina.
