Got my first US import due in any day… hope it fares better than the last one, posted all the way from sunny Liverpool. Watch this space.

Well it did. Amazing. Must have felt like the Prisoner of Zenda with a plec instead of a spoon. Took me ages to open the packing case and was most impressed with the faded blond inside. More precisely a beautiful aged 1961 Fender Stratocaster.

Never a lover of technology and a fully paid up member of the Luddites I have to say the communication and tracking was brilliant all the way from Houston and on my doorstep within hours. Thanks to Acts Crating & Transportation Services and their man Lace.
