Me. What was the guitar you wanted setting up?
Hooray!

Its a gibson 335. Tried to set the action myself and have no idea what I'm doing, so now needs a proper setup and one over. Can I pm u?
Ah, yes, I was pulling your leg. You can give me a 335 in exchange for a guitar setup :-)

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The same questions get asked time & time again.
Why not have a directory listing for luthiers, shops & other guitar related things & have a rating system for them. The directory listings would be created based on nzguitar members recommendations & not by the trades people.
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.

I'm sure there is somewhere, but no-one ever bothers searching for it so it gets lost and new threads are started.

Its like herding cats.


p.s. feel free to search for it and bring it to the top

5/10. It would have been 7 but I deducted two points for the intergenerational disconnect. I've never listened to Numan.
