My nephew turned 16 about a week ago.
Tomorrow he returns home after being away.
He plays cello in the school orchestra. Apparently, he's gotten some sort of scholarship for it. I think he plays a few other instruments as well, too.
He's been working to save up for an electric guitar, but it's been slow-going for him. He was hoping to have one by his birthday.
A little over a week ago, I packed up one of my trusty Paul Reed Smith "SE" singlecut models and mailed it off. A couple days later, I packed up what's called an
Eleven Rack processor... amp modeller, FX processor, etc. It's the #2 reigning processor currently, still widely used even though Avid has basically written it off. It's quite a beast.
The SE that I sent him was replaced by two guitars, the Heatley I posted about the other day, and another newer SE semi-hollow model.
With the versatility of the Eleven Rack, he won't need an amp for a while. He'll get by on some good headphones my sister will get him while he saves up for a speaker setup to pair with the 11R.
Can't wait to see the unboxing video!
