Re: Eric Carmen Dead

I read this as Eric Cartman dead, and presumed that South Park had been cancelled.

Re: Late 70s Strats - thoughs?

First (decent) guitar was a '79 sunburst with black guard and pickups that I got off the guitar teacher mid-1996 when he left to go on his OE. I paid $600 which was a whopping amount for a 17 year old kid with a supermarket job and I fully lied to my folks about the cost (told them it was half that)...

Re: Cheap is 'GOOOOOD'

Most of the $400-$1000 so called entry level guitars I’ve played have been really good, when you get down to sub $200 it starts to get a bit hairy like cheap tuners and plywood etc but I think even then if you know how to do a basic fret job and setup most can be turned into gigable guitars. One of...

Re: NOGD: Unexpected reunion...

Re: NOGD: Unexpected reunion...

I love these stories. I once tracked down my old Warwick Streamer LX and it was a nice sense of coming home. Sold it again though - I find that I sell things for a reason and buying back only reinforces why I sold it once the nostalgic hit passes. I understand this vibe; if I was still playing in a...

The neck profile, for sure. Action is silly (read: buzzing) low but nothing I can't resolve. :winky:

How come the things I regret selling never turn up again?! Dammit!
This is a first for me, so I figured it had to be worth bringing back in the stable.
If only the guy who ended up with my '07 Explorer would part with it....

Re: NOGD: Unexpected reunion...

That's awesome. Well done. Guitars are more than the price tag. And I can relate, last week I found a guitar of mine (that I built from scratch) for sale in Cash Converters in Panmure and bought it back. They had no idea what they had. The pickups in there are worth more than they were asking. Anyw...

NOGD: Unexpected reunion...

New Old Guitar Day! Bit of potential TL: DR here…. Back in 2003, I was mostly playing my old ’61 RI SG in my main band, but was also doubling on duties in a heavier modern metalcore band which required me to have a second guitar I could downtune. I scoped out a few stores until I found an Ibanez mod...

Re: What a lot of us have been wanting from Kemper..

I once played to the bar staff and doorman K Rd Ballroom, 2004. 6 band lineup which some genius thought would be wise to start playing at 10pm. Forever etched in memory due to rage. We drew short straw and played just before 2am to the two bar staff and cleaner. I nearly walked out at around 1am du...
