level 7
I made this guitar.
I played it for countless hours, days, months, years, alone.
I took this guitar (and only this guitar) to an audition in New Orleans.
This guitar travelled around the world with me.
I played this guitar on a balcony in Paris while looking out at the Eiffel Tower.
I fought for this guitar in a club that, at best, fit 500 people when the people up against the stage grabbed both legs, my arm, the headstock of the guitar and the body of the guitar all pulling, as I fell forward into the crowd I saw the neck flex so much I thought it was going to collapse into itself. Just as I left the stage, into the crowd, security pulled me back on stage by my shorts, I then kicked until everyone let go of my guitar.
Both Dimebag and I played this guitar on stage every night while we traded off bartending duties for the other, for an entire tour, most of which I cant remember clearly (though the smile on my face as I type this reminds me of just how much fun I had).
I played this guitar opening for Metallica.
I played this guitar opening for Black Sabbath.
I played this guitar at the biggest venue in my hometown a place that I never dreamed I'd play and as I scanned the crowd I saw my family and all my friends I grew up with.
I played this guitar for hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.
Tony Iommi signed the broken pieces.
Next time you pick up a guitar, think big.
