Versus Tuesday

Astronauat2005 Drummer cover of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police

The Police - Every Breath You Take

Background, Successes, Honors, Certifications 

Upon reflection, Sting once noted that "Every Breath You Take" was more like "Big Brother, surveillance and control."

In knowing the lyrics, I am inclined toward stalking rather than invasive watch by the government.

What do you think of "Every Breath You Take"?

zZounds Electric Guitars - Limited Quantity Bonus Edition

Due disclaimer - This post contains affiliate links and I may be compensated on any purchase made.

In the original zZounds Electric Guitars - Limited Quantity post, I suggested considering and purchasing a must-have electric guitar that is low in quantity now if seriously interested.  This suggestion was offered for the "everyday" guitar.  

So what should you do if an iconic replica from an iconic guitarist is available but in very low stock?  My best guess - buy now if you are a long-time fan and/or serious guitar collector.

In this post, I am offering my suggestion for replicas of electric guitars once owned by Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Slash.  Major names in music indeed.

With that said, zZounds products are generally in stock and guaranteed for a purchase, whether in a flat sum or in monthly installments.  

With that said, zZounds occasionally offers products coming soon...With that said, what should a customer do when zZounds products are in limited quantities?  My guess - explore and if seriously interested, buy now.
