Couldn't have come along when I was cashed up, they all turn up now the missus has spent it all.

Make that four, somebody snaked the LTD I wanted quick smart.
Give it time and all of them will be gone and you'll be at peace. Does that help?

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Why so slow? It's not like there's paint on the whole thing.

That '59 could be a goer, but I was thinking maple fretboard. Maybe I can shift some stuff and get my budget into CS range.

When I saw your pedal board I was thinking you could get a Flint and have space for something else :lol:
