So why did he do it and ask? That bit rubs with me.
Naa, I just think he is a bit odd, which is cool with me,
I don't care what he spends is money on (obviously). He should charge for his vids or whatever and then he can spend the money on '62 Strats or chocolate biscuits, it's up to him. He won't do that though. I wonder why not?
In the worst case scenario, the guy gets what he wishes for. He raises sufficient funds to buy, say, a Fender American Standard, Professional or Vintage Re-Issue Stratocaster. Then, the welfare office wants to know how he managed to afford it. The truthful explanation is unlikely to be well received. Welfare payments are suspended. D'oh!
Can you imagine if I started a raffle thread and asked people to donate prizes and stuff and then said the proceeds were going to go to me buying a nice new Les Paul..
I suspect I'd get a kicking like no kicking we have seen on here yet...
it's wrong on so many levels.
In the video he's saying that he is having to sell most of his massive collection of guitars/gear to go towards the cost, as if we should all feel sorry for him, and he is still begging for £5000.
For the record he looks to already have a Patreon page for donations towards his YouTube channel, if you look at his channel info. so he already looks to be geared up for donations for his channel before this nonsense.
where does it stop.
Will it be a vintage Les Paul in 6 months time???????
I dint see a problem with it, I'm just not going to donate.
If he achieves the goal, then he obviously mean enough to enough people, and it's not our place to criticise it really.
I personally don't have enough followers/friends/fans to crowdfund a pack of strings.
Its already in his account potentially.
The only issue i see really is that if/when he gets his strat every video will be "check out my gorgeous 62 strat!!" Etc etc thus potentially driving people away from his channel that didn't donate.
I just think he's an eccentric guy sticking his neck out and taking a chance that people will give him money for something he desperately wants.
