Ed @Mossman and I have become good friends. Most of you know that he has been living in a van for some time now, and that he would be leaving California, and that he couldn´t take all his guitars with him, so he offered to send me one of his guitars, one that he built - the Sunking; there´s a thread here about it -.
Unfortunately, as I am AGF´s poor cousin - according to the "guitar and gear buyers scale"
-, I couldn´t afford to ship it here, so he went the extra mile and also covered it - for those wondering, it was $52 to my door -, so that´s how I´m presenting you this NGD thread - he also sent an audio interface he wasn´t using, so I could hook my Zoom multi effects to the PC and record; read about the Zoom below -. I received it two days ago, but still have to put strings on it, so I haven´t tried it yet, but Ed says it sounds great. I do like it. And it has 22 frets! Again, thanks so much, Ed!
I haven´t forgotten, pics or it didn´t happen. Here she is with her cousin AL - my first NGD, thanks to @tobijohn -.
Also, another generous AGFer and good friend sent me some other gifts a couple of months ago: two guitar stands - the ones in the pictures -, switchs and pots and some tools and other guitar goodies for my rewiring project on the Agile - and also other unvaluable gifts, but they don´t beloong to this thread -. Also, his Agile AL3200 got broken and he also sent me most of the hardware - he only kept the pickups -, so I put them in my AL3000. Now it finally has a pickguard! Yes, I´m one of those who like pickguards on LPs
I have always wondered, why is it that well grown up guys - I´m talking about we AGFers - feel so excited and happy when it comes to guitars and gear, like kids when they´re given toys? I´m 55, and sometimes I wonder, what´s all this joy for guitars and guitar parts? But well, the good thing is that I´m not alone about it here in the forum, so I don´t get to feel like I´m a weirdo!
I should also mention a NGearD about a Zoom G3xn - pre owned - that was also possible for me to have thanks to other AGFers - I got it last year -.
So, these are welcomed oasis in my desert. Thanks so much to all of you that have made it possible, every time
