Rabs Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 So after the last six months of scrimping, ebaying and what ever I could do.. I have finally paid off for my 2008 Standard.. Now this was an issue because I was made redundant six months ago and had to use the money for the guitar to live.. And was going to have to sell it.. BUT I have been doing odd jobs, copying VHS to DVD for people, selling stuff on ebay (including one of my Marshalls) all to pay this off.. Well today I finally did it (cut off was 29th June) YAY YAY YAY and am so happy about it I needed to share with people who understand (I hope) :) After my Classic, this is like a perfect Les Paul to me (colour, pickups, neck).. I literally fell in love with it on the spot and even traded a Flying V I had to help pay for it. And the fact they have stopped making them and that the red ones seemed quite rare, I just had to keep this guitar and did it.. Woooooooo !!! thank you oh guitar spirit who looks over us ;) And this is the beauty im talking about (im sure most of you have seen before so forgive me but im excited (which is rare these days) :) I even had to call them back to check it was actually paid off im in such shock. and standing proud with its brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Cheers man.. thats appreciated (and to all who have answered)... I know to some people it all seems a bit silly over a guitar.. but in the time ive had it ive now really bonded with it and would have been sad to see it go.. Now I just need a job :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Excellent. Glad you got to keep the guitar you love so much. It would certainly have hurt to have had to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
