So we are looking around and we happen to venture out of the Acoustic area and into the Strat Zone. So Im looking up at all the different Strats, the prices, whatnot . Then something catches my eye. A Eric Johnson Signature Strat. Marked down from 1,750 american dollars, to about 1,000. I knew right then and there that I wanted it, but the sale was only for the weekend. So I talked it over with my Dad and him and my Mom were pretty much saying it was to expensive. So he picks me up from school on friday and I get in the car. He says " Whats back there?" pointing directly to the backseat. I look back and see the Fender case. My heart starting racing. I was like "How?" He said that he went over to Guitar Center the next day, because he knew how much I wanted. So he had me pay a little for it and he did aswell, just because it was pricey. When he got there another guy had drove a long way just to get the same guitar, and there was only 1 of them ! My dad explained how it was for his son and then the guy felt bad and said he that he would go to a different store and he said " Tell Your Son, Merry Christmas." So thats the strange story of how I ended up getting a Eric Johnson Signature Strat. , at a great deal ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
