Beedster Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'm shocked and saddened to report that, contrary to several recent ebay listings, I spent 3 hours this morning emptying my loft and didn't find one vintage Fender. I did however find several boxes of Xmas decorations and some mid-80s ski wear. I'm starting the I Emptied My Loft This Morning And Didn't Find A Single Vintage Fender Support Group (or IEMLTMADFASVFSG for short). Please let me know if you'd like to join.

jakenewmanbass Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hmmm..... I've had a similarly disappointing experience in my garage today Chris so I wonder if you have it in your heart to LENGTHEN your catchy group title to: I Emptied My Loft and/or Garage This Morning And Didn't Find A Single Vintage Fender Support Group Producing the (I think) rather epic acronym: IEMLA/OGTMADFASVFSG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pobolycwm Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 as long as you also start the i bought a cheap fender copy and tried to flog it on ebay as fleas personal guitar or IBACFCATTFIOEAFPG funnily enough my dad was a council binman in the 70`s and over the course of 5 or 6 years brought home fender guitars about once a year that just happened to have been thrown out (of course my mum didnt know there was a guitar shop on his route that did layaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry[/quote] It's the first place I look for the step ladders Reminds me of the time that 'answer a stupid question on the phone and end up with a mortgage sized bill' TV program was investigated for spurious practices. The Question: "What item is commonly found in a womans handbag...." 75,000 calls and £15,000,000 profit to the blood sucking leech monger TV execs later (i made the figures up) No winner.... because.... The Answer: "A RAWL PLUG" c**ts... Edited May 17, 2009 by jakesbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, a friend of mine was employed to clean out a rich person's loft, and they told him to chuck everything out that he found in there. He found a Rickenbacker guitar, which he did not chuck out. Now thats a find... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom in Dorset Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I spent the morning rummaging through my pile of mint condition 1963 Gibson Thundebirds, I turned my stash of vintage Jazz and P basses upside down, but I just can't seem to find that neck from a no-name Rickenbacker copy. I know it's there somewhere, I'll take a look in my Alembic collection after lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
