We're down to two now. The one I originally wanted still remains.

I’m hesitating for some reason.
Now or never, my man. Let me know if you're gonna pull the trigger on that one. Because if you aren't... I might.

I just can't bring myself to have to be scrambling for all that cash right now. I'm sure I'll regret, but you should move forward with buying it. That way I don't need to worry anymore. ;D

It's the hardest thing because I have a regular AV65 on layaway in OW and had it on layaway for a few months when the CFM came out - I couldn't decide which I wanted more, so I just kept the OW because of the fact that I had wanted that since I was 12 - I'm 15 now and work at a music store so that doesn't help with G.A.S. I probably should buy a car but oh well ;D

Also, it has a ridiculous amount of flame on the neck so there's also that. I will post a NGD thread once I have it in my hands but for right now, I have to wait.
I'm in Marching Band and play Guitar. That's about it, pretty boring, isn't it?

There was one on reverb but it must have sold today, I saw it on there yesterday. it was there for a week or so. It looked good but the back of the neck was very pale. I don't like that.

This was all that I saved from it.

Fender.
These came stock with an aged or mint guard I believe - thin skin run from the fine folks at Wildwood.

Fender Cyclone - 1x Vintage White, 1x Pewter

Exactly, also Fenders brown tort is still better than that printed crapola
