Selling my first electric - unusual response...

usedtobe

Recently decided, while cutting down on electrics, and saving up for a nice acoustic, to sell my first proper electric. 

I haven't really played it for years, and I had a go on it, the other day, and realised I'm not crazy about the neck, and how it plays, although I quite like the 'different' sound.. When I did play it more, I much preferred how it played to how it sounded, and considered changing the pickups..

I've got a lot of sentimental attachment to it, but I'm thinking it's daft to keep it, and not play it, when I could put the money towards something I will play. I'm not really feeling the whole electric thing, these days, am almost certain not to be joining a band, or playing out, in the future.

After a few days of the ad going live, I got an email. Oooohh, I thought. Got a bite, already!

Turned out to be a journalist, interested in doing a little story for Sunday Times magazine, I think it was. Thing is - there is a bit of a story, there, but I'm not really bothered about doing that. I did think about doing the story for about 5 minutes, though..

No proper interest in buying the guitar, yet, apart from a load of likes on Facebook, but no offers...

Sunday times and I'd have bitten. Local shite rag and forget it.

obviously not a very good journo if he doesn't know about THEFRETBOARD.CO.UK - -  could have all the stories there are if he did... and they'd be as interesting as sitting in here every day!

It's not that BIG a story. It's just a human interest thing - if you're interested in the small details of other people lives..

Is this an attention thing or are you afraid you will be ridiculed :-D are you David Gilmour?
