I love the carpet! But I keep it pretty tame in my pad

At the end of the day, carpet is only there to soak up any spilt beer

That guitar does look nice though, I have heard a lot of good things about Carvin guitars.

My SE Custom-24 w/FR has a "Pattern-Thin" neck.
String spacing is a little wider than a Les Paul... but the neck depth is pretty thin (slightly thinner than a 60s Les Paul neck).

My American Custom-24 has a "Pattern Normal" neck.
Somewhere between a 50s and 60s Les Paul neck.

50s Les Paul necks are just a little too chunky for me...

Correct, the one he linked to was all mahogany and didn't have a maple top. The all mahogany PRS's I've played are dead sounding. It's weird because I like all mahogany bodies, just not from them.

I was talked into a maple top, don't know anywhere near enough about woods to know how that effects tone but technically it's supposed to bring out a bit of snap to the guitar with the mahogany providing the thickness. Whatever they did worked.

I know I recently said I wasn't but then I came across this a few small hours of the morning ago and yeah I'll be getting one in for sure http://www.ibanez.co.jp/eu/news/f_produ ... /rgib.html

6 string, 28" scale-length. I knew I'd end up with an Iron Label series but just didn't know it'd be so soon. I'm glad they've added this one to the options and at £479 (I reckon I'll snag one for £450) it is a real no-brainer

I've snapped up a few things recently, Mostly pedals which I'll spare everyone for me rambling on about.

The most use out of one of the amps in the collection I thought wouldn't (and indeed hasn't) see much use bar clean sounds is the fender hot rod deluxe III combo, I switched out the celestion which came with it for a marshall gold back celestion (from a JCM2000 DSL401 1x12" combo) and it has made the amp not just ideal for clean sounds but also a superb platform for gain pedals, It has tightened up the low-end, focused the mid-range and taken a bit of the highest frequencies out which really works at treat. Would of done it ages ago if I had of known how much it has made the thing much more capable for what I need/want

So pretty pleased and yeah a 28" 6-string, How awesome is that!?!

All the best to everyone as always

Dean

Nice looking guitar! I will say one thing though, those gibralter bridges take some getting used to for intonating. The 7 I tried out was hard to get the allen wrench to fit in. Nothing major, just wanted to point it out.

the blurb doesn't give an awful lot away i'm afraid - (and a google search brought up nothing of any use)

'This wonderful hand built Terrill is a great example of top quality British craftsmanship using top quality woods. Terrill is a Lake District based firm with a real feel for the woods they use. The action is excellent and the weight balance feels just right. The locking tuners help keep the tuning and the baritone elixor strings are great!! The hardware is all great quality and the neck profile is shaped to feel even thinner than it is, giving it a fast feel. At this price it's one not to be missed!!

Elm Top with an Ash neck and headstock with a very flat Maple finger board. Finish – classical Oil & Wax. This gives you the resonant quality of the timber with no plastic coating getting in the way.'

the listing is here - Terrill SC4

Yes, that's right. IME, if you play an all-maple guitar, you might hear that it's crisp, trebly, and sharp sounding, whereas an all-mahogany guitar might be dark and thuddy sounding, both often times too much so in either direction. It actually seems to be pretty reasonable to combine the two when you think of how opposite they are.

The wood combination that baffles me is maple top/basswood back, which Tom Anderson prefers.

I get that one- basswood tends to be very round sounding, without a lot of attack. The maple adds the attack to it, and the basswood adds body.
