I'm gassing hard for an ESP M-1, the black model with 1 Bridge pickup and reverse headstock. I've been after one of these since I started playing guitar and still haven't found one for sale! Can anyone help me out? I know they're pretty rare in NZ so it's a long shot!

This. I'm pretty happy with my guitar collection at present (of course, so I bloody should be). And same goes for my keyboards (Korg Kronos, Nord Electro 2, and Roland F120). My amps are gathering dust because I enjoy the Kemper more than my actual amps (!!!!!!). So now its all about some skills.

Actually, I've been a bit distracted from guitar recently, not just by work but also because I've rather been enjoying my jazz piano playing :)

On the lookout for a fuzz factory, or something similarly silly.

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.

It sounds great and it's 'priced to move'. About $30k landed? If I win Lotto this week I'll have them flight case and send it your way.

Mate! You're a legend. Thanks. :D
Believe it or not, that Manzer is quite a bargain. Especially when compared with something by James Taylor's guitar builder.

I've got all this nice gear in my man cave and yet all I want is to go and hang out with some mates. Play some music, moan about work, generally waste time kind of thing.

The house is OK, and I love my bubble, but I'm living in Oestrogen Manor at the moment...

I read the story of how James Taylor came to be playing his guitars. He sneaked one into Taylor's hotel room. I just hope he was paid for it. I'd hate to think someone would do all that work and a guy that could afford the guitar didn't have to pay for it.

Crazy expensive though. :-(

Getting harder to fill the days. Mother-in-law is still here as she hasn't been able to transit through Singapore. It's like a perfect-storm of FFS.

I might remove a brick fireplace today.
