Fairly certain I already posted photos of this guitar, but here I’m posting them for another reason. Because technically this guitar is available to purchase. It’s been in the shop since January, the artist that was supposed to be buying it never sent the money, so I never sent the guitar. Funny how that works. Anyway, I’ll gladly keep this guitar if I can afford my move back to Portland Oregon without selling it, but moving is more important. It’s still in excellent condition, not new, but really well taken care of. Asking $3600, and let me tell you it’s worth every cent of that.

What a year...apparently (according to this stupid Top 9 generator) it was full of @seanpierceceo and @knutsaudio But the year was nothing without us working together! From photos, to facts, to braving the aftermath of a wildfire to film a music video...it was so much fun! Here's to an amazing 2017! Happy New Year. #band #rockbands #rockandrollband #alternativemetal #altrock #altmetal #alternativerock #bandsexual #bandsarelife #bandssavelives #musicsaveslifes #musicsavedmylife #happynewyear #2017 #goodbye2016 #cockeyedoptimist #iamacockeyedoptimist
