Just bought a nice pre-owned Fender Starcaster (solid-body Strat style)at a local pawn shop($75). Good condition w/ 2 single coil and bridge humbucker pickups,had to buy the whammy bar separately from a Fender parts dealer(Reverb.com),and a Peavey 15 watt amp,20' instrument cable,guitar sling,and a dozen picks. Gig bag too. Sounds great.

I'm just learning the finger-picking for 'In Spite of Ourselves' on my old Ashton (I have a 'proper' guitar, too: Cole Clark Fat Lady 1 electric-acoustic, but the Ashton is lighter and handier), in honour of its writer and recent coronavirus victim, Mr Prine.
