I drove to my local Guitar Center a few cities over, had my Fender acostic restrung and cleaned. I saw this one guitar, from across the room. The finish was completely screaming my name. Twenty minutes later, I left with brand new strings, a clean used guitar, a bag full of picks and the one on the wall.

Fender Soronan (Secondhand Store)

Luna Gype Spalt GC (Guitar Center)

All set to become the next Jukebox Hero :). Not sure if that reference was intentional.

Pretty cool story...it's as though it was meant to be. Interesting bit of serendipity there.

Enjoy your new guitar!!
