Gig Issues

Ever since I have been actively gigging (if you call once or twice a month as active) – the ironic thing  is – my guitar has not properly worked.  When I was busy working, this guitar was working properly – and now that I need it at gigs, the pickup died.  It’s like the universe conspired to give me extra problems… Sigh.  I had it repaired but the shop replaced it with a high output pickup, it will only work with Acoustic amps, which of course non of the venues I play at has.  I’m getting tired of using a friends guitar, and though it is a nice guitar – I want to use my own “sword” when I fight my “fights”.  I’m thinking about getting a new guitar…  Good luck to me.
