My 11 year old son's guitar teacher believes in getting her students performing asap so he had his first gig tonight at school. A few of the kids were obviously playing their dad's guitars and I was super interested to see one of them rocking this Fender Arrow (as it was called in Europe) or Swinger (ib;jb) in the USA. Apparently only 1500 ever made.

So Fender built 1500 of them before they realised the pickup was in the wrong place.....
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
