Been waiting for shops to get Epiphone Casinos in stock, been waiting for weeks, but just found a used one online for £300. Yoink!

It’ll all be on reverb in six months when I’m in debtor’s prison!

I tried talking my Missus into a Guild OM-245e and she gave the 'you don't want to go there, do you? You'll be selling it soon enough, and you'll meet xxxxxxx again!' admonishment. Gets me every time.

She knows me too well.
Congrats on the Casino! I had one with Bigsby, but sold it. Have an 'Inspired By John Lennon' Casino. I see those regularly go for hundreds more than what I paid new. I'll never sell mine. It's my last remaining P-90 git!

The Casino I’ve bought is turquoise and is probably my least favourite colour, but I may attack it with brillo pads etc to see if I can shift the poly finish off the body entirely.

As it’s nearly half what I’d banked on spending I may investigate getting some upgrade P90s from somewhere like The Creamery.

I got new tubes for my Bugera V22, Tung-Sols and TADs, it got less noisy, along with a serious improvement in the subjective sound quality. Smoother and more refined.

The Casino arrived and I think I got lucky, perfect setup, sounds great to me, not a mark on it and even the turquoise body looks a lot nicer IRL than in the pics. I know it’s not a sexy site, but anyone after bargains in the uk should keep an eye open for new arrivals on the cash converters site

it’s weird how that happens. One time I saw page after page of ukeleles, like someone had done a ramraid on a Dawsons Music.

I always look in Cash Converters given the chance, I got a Yamaha acoustic and a Squier Stagemaster V2 for £30ish each.
Just need to be aware of fret wear.

About to place a custom order for a Trent Model 1, hopefully pick it up in person in a few months.

Look interesting, if you want the P-90 sound!

edit: realized its not really what comes to mind when someone says "guitar gear" but i plan on using it on acoustic so meh, this works.

Nice buy! I've never been a fan of recording my Martin by going direct and finally got around to buying a few mics to experiment with. The SM7B was on my radar but skipped on it for the time being.

I will buy a rechargeable tuner for convenience because swapping out batteries can be a hassle.

What guitar gear have you bought/are you buying/will you buy?
