1 x Japanese Fender Telecaster - $1,000.


I can't play anymore due to chemo side effects on my hands so they need to go.

Pics coming. Located in Sydney. Shipping possible but would rather local pick up.

hey kris
i just thought i would add i always read your blog
cant say i enjoy reading it but its so damn well written - it is a real credit to you

if you see one of your turns of phrase borrowed by me in a future magazine column i apoligise ahead of time , i cannot get things that succinctly even bi monthly and without the weight of the world on my shoulders ... you amaze me kris

people always say to me -

" hey you should of been a writer "
"why do you say that" i ask
"oh you know because you write so well "

"oh you have read my stuff somewhere ? .... hmm maybe i will be a writer then..... would you mind holding all the other stuff i enjoy doing so i can concentrate on my new "real" career ...?

thanks mum:) "

Thanks Rick. I appreciate that, especially coming from you. No problem if you borrow a phrase or two.

Things aren't so good right now.... cancer markers have doubled again, 4th blood test in a row. It means the cancer is active and growing again. Feeling pretty fragile at the moment. Rach is in NZ with the boys on holiday... can't raise her. These are the days I dread.

call me if you need a voice or an ear
i have both :)

Sorry to hear Kris. Try to stay positive.

If there's anything you need, don't be too proud to ask.

Take care.

Hey Kris,

Been hearing via Rick about your illness – sorry to hear you're so unwell.

Just wanted you to know that you're in my thoughts and if there's anything I can do, let me know.

Chin up man.

All the best,

Andy S.

now about those guitars
whos up for one ?

I'd love to see some pics if these are still for sale

Sorry guys... been a little side tracked.

Pics coming in the next few days.

Kris,
In my thoughts man.
Chin up, be strong and fight it like you already won..

My short term memory is pretty much fried these days thanks to the chemo... but I remembered I wanted to say thanks to everyone here for the words of encouragement and support. It really does mean a lot.

Telecaster for sale now....

Just bumping this one and also letting you know my cancer levels have decreased by 10% as of last Friday. This is without another round of chemo, which shows the drugs are doing their job, so the round I had on Friday should yield better results again. Things appear to be back under control for now. Doc happy with results. Thanks for all the messages and kind words.

Re-visiting this one... I have been able to play a bit the last few days and the Tele just doesn't fit my "sound" anymore.

$500. Local pick up (Sydney) or +$50 for shipping in Aus.

See photo's previously posted.

Sold.
