Topic: My Fender Blues Story!!!
My guitar story starts this summer...I went to San Francisco from Rome to visit my uncle, he has a restaurant in North Beach called E' Tutto Qua (Is everything here). We had a lot of space downstairs and we really love music so we decided to make our own STUDIO. Just in one week we had the drums, the bass guitar, my cousin's guitar and some amps...the only thing missing was MY GUITAR, so searching on the internet I found a really great guitar in Sacramento's GUITAR CENTER, Fender Stratocaster American Deluxe 2002 made in Corona...it was at a very low price just 750$. We moved from San Francisco to Sacramento just to buy the guitar...when I saw that for me was the really best one, the guitar was mine but I just had to wait until July 11th because the police had to check if the guitar has been stolen. I meet Rick there one the shop assistents he was very friendly with me and he told me that was going to bring me the guitar to my uncle's house in SF. So July 11th came, at 11am Rick arrived with my "baby", he has driven for 2 hours just for me and than he came back, I've just said THANK YOU to him...What a great man!!!!!! Now the STUDIO was formed and every night we played MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC especially BLUES (Bonamassa Style XD). Everything was so awesome and than something went wrong...On August 1st my Uncle called me alarmed because someone had stolen the guitars...I felt like dying that fact made me crazy, we called immediately the police one of the police agent was a friend of mine and blues player too so he did his best for my stolen guitar. I spent three horrible days, I wanted to know who was my guitar thief I couldn't sleep at night I was really angry BUT on August 4th I saw a policeman entering to the restaurant he asked to talk with me and we went out to his car he opened the door brought my guitar back to me I WAS REALLY HAPPY!!!!! He only said that a parking attendant has seen a man hiding the guitar under a car and runnig away so he called the police...I've never known the thief but now I had my guitar and I finally decided to bring it to THE JOE BONAMASSA CONCERT where i met Daryl and thanks to him I had the JB signature on the pickguard and now I'm officially a member of the JB STREET TEAM it was really a dream came true!!!!! I HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE STREET TEAM AND USA TOO now I really have a very blues guitar with a blues story!!!!!!
P.s. I'm so sorry for my bad english I hope you can understand everything....
