Just trying to see where the percentages fall. I'm guessing that it's about 35% under 25, 40% 25-50, and 25% over 50.

I'll be 59 this year.

I never thought about it, but it might be useful info for Fender too?

Its actually a good idea, you never know how Fender looks at the market. I have a Blues Jr. and I`m retired from a job related back injury. Sometimes that amp feels like I`m lifting a Mac truck and I tend to grab my Roland Micro Cube instead. I might consider putting a set of casters on it so I can just roll it around instead of trying to lift it.

I started playing when I was 10, and I`m sorry to say I put it down longer than I actually played. Now being retired I find that it helps me get through the day, but I`m struggling to get myself to where I want to be.

I'm somewhere between a "Young Buck" and an "Old Fart", if that tells you anything.

18 days after my 56th birthday I retired. That was last November. Almost got to retire at 55. :lol:

Been picking at the Strat since early December '09 I think. Yeah... long time huh? :wink:
