NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Keen for beers

Interesting and timely thread. I have been away from the GAS for a while and was startled at the cost of things these days. I remember buying PRS Customs, Fender American Standards and Les Paul Standards from ebay and flogging them on trademe as a side hustle when I was in uni. Back then the going r...

I watched them last time they were here and had the seats on the side of the cake tin. The sound was horrible so might go this time around and get those GA field tickets for the best experience.

$89 seems like a good price

Hope you are well buddy! Good to see you here!

In amp news, I picked up a Blackstar HT5. Was tossing up between this or a Vox AC4 but decided switchable channels would be a nice option.

Can’t wait to get going!

Woohoo, after much searching I got a guitar to get me started again.

I really wanted a vintage style Strat and I was just walking past the local cashies and found this.

Yup, it's a PRS Tremonti SE and Blackstar HT5 with 1x10" speaker.

Oh yes!



Time to bust out the Creed covers now!

First impressions, the amp and guitar are well made and suits my beginner skills just fine!

$1300 for an AVRi 62 reissue? Flippin heck, sign me up!

i have a feeling it's been sold since i've got no replies to my voicemail and text messages

Hey Ed, I had one years ago, 3-TSB, CS pickups, twang and tone, started my strat addiction. My memory is quite bad but the neck reminds me of the PRS customs (wide/thin?) - i'm crap at technical specs like that but I do recall how well it played. being a fender they really are very easy to play. The...

If you nned someone to take photos give me a shout

that is cool been to a lot of weddings over the past year and the space for the band has always been quite cramped. mostly to do with the venue not really made for that sort of thing. Unique / Rog what are your band's names and areas you would go to? I often get asked about entertainment and so far ...
