Gigs and a little trivia…

I’ve been reading some of my posts (i’m the only one) and I noticed in this one that I was hoping to get a new guitar. Well I got one in the end, and it’s a rather strange story. So I basically said I used to be in love with this guitar called the Fender Toronado GT HH. It was a dream of mine since I was about 14, when I started playing electric guitar. It was just so beautiful, it has this racer stripe down the middle which is really nice, amongst being fitted with two seymour duncan pick-ups (badass).

Well unfortunately they went out of production, no-one had ever heard of them compared to strats. It was a huge shame, because the time I finally want to get one, they’re gone, completely! As you know I contacted Fender, they had none. All the internet shops had sold out, and they don’t appear on ebay that often.

Anyway, a couple of months ago I get a picture message from one of my band mates, and it’s a picture of a Fender Toronado GT HH in a music shop that is near mine! What are the chances? A guitar that’s been my dream for years goes out of production and then amazingly one turns up in my local music shop! Anyways, I got it for my birthday, and this thing is amazing. I paired it with a Zoom G2.1u guitar pedal, and it’s so nice! I’m glad I bought it.

That brings me round to one last thing. Gigs. I’m going to see Funeral For A Friend in November or something, I think. My gym friend is going to be in the army so he gave me his ticket. And there will be another gig too, my bands. Our first gig hopefully we will be able to book one and play soon. It’s going to be great! Providing we can get some more decent songs out.

That is all for today, later.
