Juan Alderete Reverb Store

[joeystrange]

In a very sad turn of events Juan Alderete announced yesterday that he’ll be selling lots of his gear on Reverb, presumably as he can no longer play. Or at least not the way he wants to.

 

No store link yet but it’s going live some time next week, I believe.

 

Announced on this Instagram post of anyone wants more info.

Agreed, very sad news to hear what has happened to Juan.

I loved his playing in Racer X

Juan can definitely still play, and he still is, although it's all studio stuff now and at his own pace. It's pretty much everything else around playing and being in a band that he struggles with now after his accident, and his life has had to slow down considerably. 

 

It sounds like a lot of the money he's hoping to raise will be going to various charities, and I'm sure he'll be hanging on to a few favourite bits of gear (noting that none of his Nordstrand Cats, his old Racer X Ibanezes or any of his vintage Fenders are among the mentioned items).

I saw this too. Sad for him. I enjoyed his pedal videos. Anyways, here's his auction announcement video.
