... which means that another great vintage Strat will be bought by a banker, locked away and never played again. And maybe brought out at parties and shown to his friends.

its a shame that the only people who can afford things like this are people who work for companies that cause the world to go into recessions, and arn't penalized for it. gross misconduct is the new black.

Totally agree with both you and GilgaFrank. A guitar, or any instrument for that matter should be played, not just become a party piece for the rich and over influential.

the world is just a disaster. it's run by the "elite" who don't care about the needs of the little people, they just care about how much money they can make. like i said somewhere else. look at the english prime minister. instead of dealing with pressing matters like homelessness and people being too poor to be able to afford food etc because they're only getting 70 pounds per week in the UK, he spent months and millions of pounds lobbying to make sure that high ranked bank officials still get their Bonuses every year. (in some cases 100's of thousands in bonuses). he actually lobbied for it as he said they didn't deserve to be denied whats rightfully theirs.
even though it's them who caused these recessions and them who're central in what is now a major gap between the elite and the non elite.
i mean these guys have paintings in their houses that are worth more than an average person makes in 10 years, yet they're upset and butthurt because they might lose their bonuses.
they're actually reducing the social welfare payments of people under 24 next year to 100 euro per week down from 188. yet the high ranking bank and government officials saleries (some 800k per annum +) don't lose a single penny of their pay or bonuses.
take it from the youn and the elderly basically, and leave the bigshots committing gross misconduct on criminal levels every day have their 800k + 150k bonuses per year. this world is a SICK place

ooo boo hoo hoo, Bros I love Vipers and Lamborghini's as much as the next Brother or Sister but honestly every time I go for a ride in them it is a pain in my assa. A cool pickup or SUV is much more comfortable. A Jimmie Vaughan Stratocaster has been a favorite for awhile those have a lot more bang for your buck IMHO YMMV (to quote my favorite Martian) :D

Yes, all of that definitely. My point though was that an instrument shouldn't just be a party piece it should be played, and enjoyed, and not locked up in a vault somewhere. ;)

isn't this the Strat that was just "taken home" and not mentioned by a charter pilot when Dylans crew left it on a plane back in the '60s......and now his daughter is trying to sell something they'd call "stolen" where i'm from?
