I was in GAK (a massive guitar shop in brighton) on monday the 21st of july with my nan and my bands drummer and we try out a fender standard stratocaster (mexican) and after about half an hour of playing it my nan says to me "do you want to buy it today?" My face just lit up... i'd been stuck with a shitty encore strat style since i was eight... that was the day that changed my guitar life...
