Actually if we really put our minds to it I reckon we could establish an underground railroad for amp shipping up and down the country. The Cook Strait might pose a bit of a hurdle but.

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!

The cool thing about buying old Gibson guitars is, they already made their margin, waaayyyy back. I’m waiting for them to announce you can only ever buy a lease to “own” a Gibson. And any future growth in the value of the asset is theirs to take their share from. "I can't sell you this guitar,...

At that price. I'd expect the fingers as well.

Re: Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds

Says the guy who can't play and is thinking about buying another one. Sigh. To be fair though, its easier to ignore a painting if you don’t like it. :P :lol: A...

Re: Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds
