Buying a new guitar in 2025?

[rsm]

I ended up ordering one from sweetwater https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/S6570SKSTB--ibanez-s-prestige-s6570sk-sunset-burst. I'm really happy with it.

Turns out it's going to be the guitar I die with, I've since learned that cancer has caught up with me. I'll be unloading the majority of my gear if anyone in the San Diego area is interested.

Sorry to hear; I hope things can turn around in your favor. Prayers.

Sorry to hear that. I wish you beat the cancer. Get well soon.

I think I want an SG USA Gibson. The older I get, the more I realize that I want a Noah's Arc guitar collection. One ( or two! diff colors) of each type. You know.. the staples. V, LP,Strat,Charvel,Explorer, SG etc.

So sorry to hear. Prayers to you and yours. Stay strong and keep fighting. Beautiful axe and love that finish. Similar to Gibson bourbon burst which is a finish that looks so much better in person.

I don’t even buy new anymore. There’s literally millions of used guitars

Aww man, noooo! My wife works at City of Hope. I hear about amazing recoveries all the the time. Any chance you can give them a shot?

I've already done 2 surgeries and 6 months of chemo, but it's stage IV with distant metastasis so I'm cooked. I've come to terms with it, retired early (54 yo) to relax and try to get things in order with the time I have left (likely less than a year).

I’m so sorry to hear that.

Not to be divisive or disrespectful at all, have you tried fenbendazole and some of the other treatments? I have no idea of that stuff works, but there are a lot of interesting testimonials if you start searching.

I would throw everything at it, regardless of what the hell it is. Best wishes of of course.

If you can manage it, try MD Anderson in Texas. They have one of if not the best cancer treatment centers in the country. About a year ago spoke with a woman there diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer… 10 years ago. She was in remission when I spoke with her.

So sorry brother.
