NGD: Donnie JS

Post by Bg »

Despite my not really liking Satch that much. I've now owned 4 JS guitars.
The last JS1200 I had didn't spin my wheels that much but the first and the one Adrian made for me (mahogany body with wizard neck) did.
I sold the Ash one to Sty a while back and had virtual instant regret - I've dibsed it but no doubt my fingers and hands will be suffering from considerable arthritis by the time that comes back up for sale!

That took adrian about 3 years to do iirc. I think he was in his pissed off at doing copies of guitars phase. I threatened to send it xmas cards.

So stoked that opsguy put his up for sale - iirc Ade only did 3, mine, Phils and Iains. The missus saw Iains and told me I had to get one - so I went for the red version that John has now.

tl:dr;
Chuffed that I have another, I forgot how much they need a strap to stop it slipping from your thigh (fnarr fnarr) and after changing strings and playing for 5 minutes - its a keeper :)
Plays like buttah, 9's are skinny, etc

Anyone who says changing strings on a floyd/edge etc is hard, is a pussy.

Many thanks to the very excellent opsguy for helping this happen and oldie for passing on the dibs!

Don't regret, it was the weakest I've had. Still great but the others I've had were special.

Great guitars and much under-rated, you really do need to ignore the fact it's a sig guitar and just appreciate it as it is.

Which was the one you had at the Bollix gearfest before last?

I think you're all ganging up on me ;)

but I hate to be the bearer of bad news but my 11 year old really loves that guitar, even though he doesn't play properly yet, I think it is largely to do with the boobies on the back...

These look so cool. Were they all hand painted?

I understand the regret, that one is an amazing example. I remember I was really trying to like Ed's N4 that day (which admittedly I didn't like the set up on) but your JS just kept drawing me back.

A perfect blend of classic rock and shredder guitar.

Have heard from Adrian as why it took so long. Apparently he'd do a bit then get worried he was going to fuck it up so would leave it for a month or two haha....
