Wanted: Fender Strat Loan

preston61

SO having saved enough money for a Custom Shop strat, to then have the kitchen floor in the new house eat some of that money and setting my sights lower, the money I had remaining has now been taken up by car troubles, I am making a long shot request.

I have looked through this forum and have seen that some of you have guitars you dont use, so I thought I would ask and see if anyone in the South Wales area might be kind enough to loan me their unused for a few months or more?

AM after one with a rosewood board and as thick a neck as possible. 

I know it's unlikely but it never hurts to ask

Ha ha nice one! \:D/

Desperate times call for laughable measures I guess.

However, there are a lot of good folk on here so I thought it had to be worth a try. The amount of times I've read in the classifieds that people are selling because the guitar has been sat in its case for a year or hasn't been played, just thought I could provide a service so that they can see how much they miss the guitar when it goes, lol. But they then get the joy of being able to get it back and I've been able to play a strat, everyone wins :-)

Good luck.  I mean that sincerely.  If someone who doesn't know you is prepared to trust you with something so precious and/or valuable, not just that you won't disappear with it, but that you will take the very greatest care of it, then I will feel like the world is a better place.  I already kind of do because you asked the question actually

Hi

I'm not in South Wales, but I've recently suffered a stroke, which left me partially paralyzed down my left side and can't play any of my guitars anymore. I have a couple of Strats that should fit the bill, and a couple more with maple necks. I'm in central England on the Staffordshire/Shropshire border.

All the best

And there you go

Thanks to @luscombe our faith in the human kind should be fully restored

What a thoroughly nice gesture, but at the same time so sorry to hear you cant play any more mate

What a top bloke . . . That is a sincere act of kindness not often seen these days :-)

Kudos and props to @luscombe and here's hoping that it is possible for you to make a full or partial recovery dude.

We need more of these kinds of acts of kindness, colour me humbled.

what the others said, very generous Luscombe, and hope you make a quick and full recovery.

Was shocked to read this. I'll drop you a pm later when I have a bit more time but anything I can do just let me know.

Btw. I've got a Jooky strat with a r/w board in the loft that you can have for the price of shipping and a beer

All the best with your recovery @luscombe and that's a wonderfully kind gesture.

Good man!

@luscombe I hope you make a full recovery soon

Thanks for all the kind comments. It's no big deal. I have lots of guitars - all of them top quality instruments. It would give me more pleasure to see them used occasionally than just hoard them at home.

Unfortunately, I'm unlikely to make a full recovery, so I'll have to part with them all eventually. I believe Dave Davies suffered a stroke and did manage to play again, but it just seems beyond me. The fingers on my left hand don't feel like they belong to me!

This thread....my word it's honestly heartbreaking to me.

Faith in humanity restored indeed.

@luscombe I wish you all the absolute very best.

Apologies - that's an accidental LOL from me when it should've been a WOW - damn these clickers. Mods, @Monquixote, can you change this?

Heart warming thread.

I myself could use a large breasted women (no relics, ta).

Anyone?
