Show and Tell - Your guitar(s)

Wondered about getting a cheap semi so first thought of an Epiphone Dot. Mate in a band used to have one and it seemed great value. Used to be able to pick them up for around £200, but no-one seems to stock them anymore. Anyone recommend similar, the cheaper end Casinos seem to cost double that?

I played an Alden semi a while ago and it wasn't bad at all; sounded good and played well. The finish was a bit goopy but for the price it was fine.

I bought this cheap LAG nylon acoustic from my buddy as he wasn't using it at all and wasn't
sure why he even bought it. Only used by Dave Murray actually, at parties. Anyway, it sounds
surprisingly good and has some nifty features. Nice metal tuners and camera batteries for the
pickup, which I thought was a great idea. About $500 new I think. A nice beach guitar or something
as I don't tend to want to take expensive guitars to the beach. Still in the market for a nice
classical, but there's no hurry now.

I do need to buy some strings for it

Bummer, I've met him a bunch of times as he used to live here and was somehow related to
the place my mom was working when I was a kid, part owner or something. Super nice guy.

Send it to Freddy Gabrsek, he does ace headstock fixes (as do lots of other luthiers of course).

I’ll keep an eye out for them. Can see some on reverb, but the new ones are over £300, approaching Gretsch territory.

I have a guy who does that sort of work. Known him since the 80's. Problem is I'm tapped. Unemployed, unemployment has run out. It's become one of those maybe someday things.

Ah but how are the CEOs going to afford their eighth 1950s LP goldtop otherwise?

That’s shit timing, mate, horrible luck

Got a new guitar on the way too once SW catches up on their backorders. Been waiting since February lol.

That would make me cry. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was over at a friend's place, to use his guitar processor to lay down a lead for something. He leaned his guitar aganst the couch, and of course it went over and did exactly that. As I looked on in horror, he calmly glued it together, and I was doing the next take about ½ hour later.

Bearing in mind I haven't played any of these....

There's the Squier Affinity Starcaster around £220 - I think it looks great but the purists probably not...

There's also the more traditional looking Hartwood ones (they're a gear4music sub-brand) around the same price;

Too lazy to take a picture, but this is mine, just found a photo on google, but it looks the same, bit more wear and tear.

I hadn't realized the guitar section on KvR had actually taken off! Okay then, le passion fo' de bashion!!



This is my 1991 Orville By Gibson Les Paul Custom, with Seymour Duncan Distortions in both the bridge and the neck. I have a tap on the neck too, which I can get by pressing the neck tone knob.

They are fricking heavy, which is one reason I am interested in the Strandbergs. Nice one though
