Just landed here by searching for facts related to new guitar for me.
A little about me, I am retired, and began the effort to learn to play guitar just nearly two years back.
I have a wife of nearly 50 years, and we had four children(all on their own) a dog, garage full of junk, and a few guitars(one a new Strat)
I have frequented the Jamsession forum for a couple of years and enjoyed my time there. Hope to contribute and learn here.
I will try to stay out of the way for a while.
Oh, the guitar I just acquired is a Koa topped Stratocaster. I was told it was from the special series and a limited edition.
Probably with some searching, I can find a thread about it.
