When your guitar gets a gig before you do
In: Music
28 Apr 2008
This is one of those WTF moments. You start browsing people’s Friendster profiles out of sheer boredom (and to satisfy scopophilic tendencies) and lo and behold you see… your guitar in a gig under the spotlights. Just like this one:
No doubt about it, it’s my guitar. I actually just lent it to a friend (the one wielding it in the pic) for maintenance since it’s just lying around gathering dust and whatnot. Told him he could practice with it if he wants. Didn’t imagine it to be in a gig before me.
The nearest to a gig I used it is for a company Christmas party, a couple of years back. Oh well. How pathetic it is when the guitar gets the spotlight over its (real) master.
