Post by NZRS-Dave »

Hi guys,

Fender NZ are putting this on next week in the South Island. MAKE SURE you register for prizes and also for seating allocation. I will be there.

Yup - that's me and my pal Steve or little stevie vai as I like to call him. In Auckland airport when I was 26. I'm not 26 anymore.

I guess the obvious begging question is... Will it come to the North Island? :thumbup:
Nothing to see here.

They show you a bunch of drool-inducing gear, talk about it to give you some insight, play a bit to make you go "woah that sounds good" and give you a chance to have some Q&A from a guy that knows his stuff in his field.

It's designed to make you want to buy stuff, but there is no hard sell at all.

I figured as much since the guy is VP of marketing. :lol: Still, sounds like a good way to spend an evening - especially as it's free. :thumbup:

Booked in for this, the Taylor one I went to a while back was brilliant, and a great way to spend a couple of hours in an evening and get to see and hear loads of guitars and gear :)

It's actually like an STD clinic, except they treat and cure people that have a Telecaster or anything in the Gretsch line-up.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
