Getting contacted by GSP Rescue asking whether I'd be interested in re-homing a 1 year old from one of the best bloodlines in NZ, where the waiting list would usually be at least 2 years for a puppy, and SWMBO saying yes we could!

A mate of mine, who happens to be a fricking genius, built his own multiscale 7 string guitar, and now he's building me a 6 string.
