Guitar
A few months ago I posted about the fall of French guitar company Custom 77, who decided to end their business when they realised that they couldn't manage their own success without the support of any bank... As I hoped, they keep making guitars under a new form with a successful crowd funding, but they still have to sell-off their old gear stock as they move from their shop.

Custom 77 loaded pickguards
A few months ago I posted about the fall of French guitar company Custom 77, who decided to end their business when they realised that they couldn't manage their own success without the support of any bank... As I hoped, they keep making guitars under a new form with a successful crowd funding, but they still have to sell-off their old gear stock as they move from their shop.
So I acquired two loaded pickguards at the fifth of their values, with custom P-90s, and just received them.
