It was a light hearted comment reminding everyone that Wellington is paradise. I perhaps could have loaded it with smilies to make it a bit clearer.

Nice guitar.. sometimes the mods, hacks and buggerisation add to the mojo.Just cos its original doesn't always make it better..more 'valuable' but not necessary better.. I like it!

I can confirm that this guitar is quite a thing. Far from original but it sounds killer!

Ha. This one isn't an NGD, it's just a guitar I have that I thought needed sharing.

It became apparent that it was one of the most resonant, engaging and palm filling guitar I'd ever played
That's what matters huh. That and does it make you want to play.

A gat that you do not feel like playing is the guitar equivalent of having a girlfriend that does not float your boat. Might be good looking, but no fun.

Absolutely true. The swap I did to get this may not have been financially sensible, but this one is never going to get sold, so it's a moot point, really.
