(This not a joke).
My girlfriend is typing this for me.
I went blind one week ago.
I´m getting used to it fast.
It is kind of soothing to be in the dark.
My guitar playing is obviovsly changing.
Found this guy who shoots video well,
So soon I will upload some footage
and we can put my Franken-Squire
and custom shop neck to neck.
Also maybe we can have the Stratlad on the film.
You may remember he is a cancer patient.
He is still in treatment and doing fine.

hE IS WAY COOL AND i HOPE YOU CAN MEET HIM.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

My thoughts exactly.

We need a lot more info on this, please, Mike - or Mike's girlfriend. Much sympathy bursting forwards, but at the very least we'd like to put a name to this situation...?

Cheers - C
