The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

I'm not really a guitar player, but for last Christmas, I bought a hollow body Höfner Verythin CT

but it was not enough, so I took a pure acoustic, Cole Clark FL1 :

A pure beauty, crafted in Australia from Bunya, a local wood.

The next one will be a USA Strat... I need something with single coils as I'm mellowing out with age :hihi:

What a retard, I quoted instead of edited :lol:

Post

just for when you feel like playing the right way around?

:hihi:

like your bass, a nice combination (natural body and fretboard, black pickguard)

I wouldn't mind a tele like that (maybe custom style, big guard, couple of buckers...)

first I gotta get a job, then earn some money, and then ...


... I'm kinda torn.

Either get myself a bass guitar, finally. I'm thinking P-Bass, probably. A stingray seems appealing too, but I'd have to play more than a few minutes with one before I make that decision (mostly because of comfort).

Alternatively, build a guitar myself. Warmoth has a cool stratocaster-style body called "soloist" which has some more room up in the top frets for my fat hands :hihi:. That plus a 24-fret neck and two EMG-89 (they're active humbuckers with a coil tap, so I can switch them to single-coil mode).

But, again, first I gotta get a job and some money and SOME f**king TIME and probably take care of some other projects first... grr

A Skylark acoustic roundback electro-classical http://www.skylarkguitars.com/skylark-r ... 194-0.html I'd had my heart set on the non electric version for a while as I :love: the idea of a all wood roundback, but the £69 difference between that and the electric persuaded me to go for the latter as it seems pups for nylon strung guitars can be a tad expensive. £311 inc hard case and delivery seems a good buy imo, tho' time will tell.
It arrived earlier, and while it looks fantastic (tho' very heavy :shock:) there are issues that are almost certainly going to make me return it as not suitable.

First up, tho' this could be my not being used to nylon strung guitars, the G, B and E seem very dull and the action is far higher than I'm used to, not that I expected it to be flush to the fretboard. The biggest problem is the pup, no matter how I tried I couldn't get a balanced output across all 6 strings, the top E is noticably quieter and isn't improved much by taking off all the bottom end/middle via the inbuilt EQ.

'EDIT'

I mailed Steve at Skylark with my concerns and within minutes he'd phoned to talk about them. The upshot is, he's arranging for it to be picked up tomorrow to take it back and get their in house tech to set it up to my specs, in as far as they can with the action, new high tension strings should help. Seemingly they replace the plastic saddle with a bone one on these guitars and the variation in volume could be down to that not sitting corerctly on the piezo. All in all, this is excellent customer service imo.
RIP Black Tom and Beckett. They weren't just cats, they were MY cats, the best cats ever.

It turned out the transducer was faulty on my Skylark Classical, that has been replaced along with having the saddle lowered and nut slots filed to give a better action. It seems odd that the faulty pickup wasn't spotted prior to dispatch, but there you go, it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow morning and this time, I hope it plays and sounds as good as it looks.

I've had all total about 100 guitars in my life.
I've got 10 currently. Honestly no more guitars unless 4 of mine break.

I've got a YRG on order and if I could ever cough up the cash I'd buy a miniZ 12 and call it at that.

If I could actually afford one, this would be my next axe:

I love that look.

I really want to build myself a Daphne Blue Telemaster (Jazzmaster body with Telecaster routing/hardware/wiring) and a Strat neck.

Post

I really just want a new guitar.....I crave it........like a drug addict :cry:

Again, I considered this.......

Image

But I'm afraid of the FR :( Plus, I have a feeling that even though I'd love the way the guitar played (certain of that) I'm not sure about those pickups. But for whatever reason it is sexy as hell to me.......

Now what I'm also thinking about is building one. Strat style, with all the geeky stuff. You know, special bridge, designer tuners, different pickups in all three positions......:hyper: But I'm kinda chicken :shrug:

i'm gonna get the JagStang that Kurt played
