Do you still have either of your Kamikaze 7 strings?

Josh in NY wrote October 30, 2015 14:59

I still have Green Meanie, but Aggressor I sold a few years ago to help get my new car. Made the mistake of selling Green Meanie once, but luckily it was to a friend and I was able to buy it back (never fully payed me for the guitar...). Good thing too, because it is and has been the best guitar I have ever owned.

Awesome! I hope you keep her, but if you ever get the itch to let her go to another good home, would you let me know?

Josh in NY wrote December 12, 2015 20:08

I will keep ya posted IF that day ever comes. But I highly doubt it, as I have had that one longer than any other guitar I have owned.

You got a way I can send you a private message???
