NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

I am talking Henriksen and Polytone

Did these ever make their way to NZ? Anyone see any for sale back in the day?

night shift.... obscure video of 8 string resonator fingerstyle jazz time. no need for a bassist

Does anyone know if we have a carrier or supplier in NZ?

Depending on the sound you're after, it's generally roundwound monel for prewar jazz, swing and the start of bebop, then flatwounds from the mid 50s on. Chromes are a relatively cheap way to start out with flats, but they are duller than other brands. Best I've found are GHS precision flats, but the...

I got this for thumbing - Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Buster B Jones, etc. It's a Cordoba Fusion 14 with a 48mm nut and 16" radius fretboard. All thumbs up for Rockshop. The first one I picked up was a lemon with a faulty mic, but they let me exchange it the next day. Overall, I don't think it's w...

A little further and it is turning like normal phew

Strings were about 2 steps loose maybe. I'll give it another go eh...

Not sure if it was cracking or creaking ha. But it's a new guitar

Dream guitar!
