No not a collector otherwise I would've spent my money on a late 1950s early 1960s guitar....I can BS ...err I mean qualify why I got each guitar.
Got to have a 6 string acoustic and the 12 string was a 21st present from a girlfriend.
The Spanish classical was given to me by my Dad.
My first electric was £80 from a lad I knocked about with down south.
The variax has a sitar and some good emulations..cost 150
The mex strat was offered to me for £50 and the strat plus was my first real proper guitar purchase..and got that for 380!!
The Bass is by cort and again about 150..it features on lots of my songs.
The Gibson LP was a biggy 1400 from the proceeds of a house sale.
Wanted a guitar with active pickups so the breadwinner was bought and like the other eastwoods they're old quirky guitars remade in china/korea and inexpensive compared to say the rickenbacker which was a wedding gift from my wife and cost 1400
The new one Liberty is 500 notes and that's about 1 1/2 months worth of smoking which I've packed in but got it because it has a p90s in the bridge and neck positions.
See told you I could BS my way through.
Lemme tell you how and why I got so many amps...............

Quite a spread of prices. Other than the 'name', what constitutes the big variation in price? Just quality of workmanship as I presume the electronics side is pretty cheap. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

18 is a fair few. I have 4 and no plans to buy more but it's been nearly 20 years since I last added to my little set. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Name first and foremost, then country of origin, then materials and the hardware i.e pickups and tuners which incidentally are not cheap. A good set of pickups will transform a cheap basswood body guitar. A cheap set of volume and tone potentiometers will make your great pickups into on-off switches and they'll feel flimsy..You know what a good knob should feel like eh ..eh.
Good paintjobs aren't cheap.
Thing with the name is that is the name that your eyes know from all those countless record covers and music videos...and a Fender Telecaster or a Gibson Les Paul..well they are benchmarks..blueprints that are still copied.
£150 guitar will sound and play ok and compared to say 20 years ago the QC is pretty mind blowing. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

For the hours I put in I should be a virtuoso. It's a rare day when i don't play guitar.
My Dad started off as self-taught then he took proper lessons in his 30s and passed his classical guitar grades and read and wrote music score then he did the same with the saxophone. He made a living from music when he wasn't doing other jobs that paid better. Christ could that man play the Blues.
The reason I didn't listen to his advice and the reason I'm not a virtuoso is my pig-headed stubbornness to not play other people's music, or take any form of lesson....and maybe I'm just not good enough anyway.
Try going to a guitar teacher and saying ok teach me but I won't be practicing any bloody beatles songs or oasis guff or even the music by people I do like.
Something inside me recoils at the thought of copying.
That's my problem though....but I wholly recommend that you do learn all those old and new songs by those other people and learn those rules...then you can break them. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

You're so right HK Phooey, playing in bands is nigh on essential.
I can tell when I'm jamming with those that play alone. They either can't keep time or they don't leave space....or both.
I miss playing in a band.....then I remember the reasons why I don't play in bands.
I still jam-out though. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Far too many toy guns and toy gun accessories.
If Mrs Borg asks, these things cost maybe £20, £30 quid each, right? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I'm actually safe there, she won't touch or even look at dangerous assault-style toys. I have to refer to it as "going fishing". So I've just bought a sniper rod and a sub machine rod. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 45 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
