Ever have one of those feelings, like you just redeemed yourself? Well, it's a good feeling.
About 15 years ago, I made the mistake of trading my 86' Charvel Model 4 in on another guitar. I didn't know how to repair guitars, then, and the poor thing was starting to slowly fall apart, here and there. However, over time, I learned I made a mistake, especially now, with the internet making part-hunting much easier. I've been regretting getting rid of what was my graduation present for years, now...
...Then, over the past week, I meet one of our fellow JCFers, here, on the forums, who just so happened to score not one, but TWO identical black 86' Model 4s, just like I once owned. He says he got such a good deal on them both, he couldn't pass them up. THEN, in a stroke of luck, he actually makes one of them available, to me, for sale, for a generous deal.
The guitar showed up, today, and it is exactly how he described it. It may be a little rough around the edges, now, but most of it is simple tweaking and tuning. It plays just how I remember it.
Thank you, spike, for sharing your good fortune with someone you only knew by a silly forum name. She will be well taken care of.
