Yes... She's Got All!


We've all seen 'em... those guitars for sale that do everything... except toast bread, make the bed, and jump start your car when the battery goes dead. The for sale ad generally reads something like this: "For Sale... Fender '65 Stratocaster. Don't miss this and kick yourself later! Here's the details; Original well worn finish. Monster tone! This guitar is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Fingerboard is superfast. Perfect medium C-Shaped neck. Pickups allow amazing Jimi Hendrix chords. Lay it down in your lap, and you will not believe the Jeff Healey bluesy notes that ring on this guitar. I played it the other day, and my friend told me what came out of it was pure Jimmie Vaughan! If you want a little Yngwie, you need look no further than here either... truly amazing guitar for finger tapping. Also just to show what this guitar can do..check out my youTube™ page for a shot of me playing EVH's Eruption. I am not going to let it go cheap though...".  All joking aside... a lot of what people say in ads needs to be taken with a whole salt-shaker full of salt... so as before... cool those hormones a minute, and look before you leap.
