Hi forum friends,
My question is a long shot:
Do any of our forum members in Hawaii know where I might be able to get my hands on / rent a E9 pedal guitar on the Big Island for 2 weeks? Single neck E9 10 would do it.
I have the good fortune of having a 2 week vacation planned for late September on the Big Island.
I recently had double good fortune of being asked to play some big (to me) gigs in mid October here in California.
So ---- I need to PRACTICE!
And those 2 vacation weeks are crucial woodshed time, just before the shows.
Bringing my very heavy D10 on the flight is not in the cards or the budget. We know how careful the airlines are...
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Many thanks in advance, and stay safe.

Peter, do you know Ned Selfe? He used to live in your neck of the woods, but last I heard he was living in Hawaii. Maybe he can help?

You might want to check for restrictions before making travel plans to Hawaii. Some areas are discouraging visitors due to the virus and predict some shortage of services etc. |

Might turn into the holiday from hell due to restrictions . my advise , stay home and practice and worry about your upcoming playing engagement. |

Thank you to everyone!
Unfortunately we are gonna have to postpone our island plans and try our luck with a mainland vacation.
Cheers,
