Someone's nicked the headstock with the twirly bits that tighten the strings.

Take it back!

Looks like Pete Townshend's been at it.

Looks like someone's taken a bite out of both ends but I like it. Are the angled frets a stylistic thing or do they help with tuning, I wonder. How much?

I see it's "sitting down playing" compatible with that useful cutaway.

The red bit looks like someone running away, wearing baggy clothes.

Plini plays a Strandberg. Cracking guitarist.

Fanned-fretboard....never tried one.
The world needs more interesting guitar shapes (as does the bike world). As for guitar prices..well they've shot up recently so it's scuppering plans for my next purchase.

Was in Colwyn Bay last week and tried a few custom shop gibsons..were they worth £4,700 compared to the £999 epiphones...not a massive difference when A-B'd. Both setup using the plex machine so intonation and action similar. Law of diminishing returns isn't it. I could've swapped out the epiphone pickups and electrics and upgraded the tuners and had an excellent playing instrument..... but I would always hanker for the Bees-Knees Custom Shop Special.

Currency aside, it's a great time to buy a guitar. I own several made in China/Indonesia guitars and they are brilliant. I adore my Eastwood K200 but it will never be a PRS.

Paddy. is right any old shit can sound good, but the good can sound great...which nobody but the player and a few saddos will appreciate.
I'd say the amp game is very much alive, as are microphones, cabs and pedals. New technology allowing stable long life micro-valves(tubes)..etc.

Play music people, it's a good time to be alive.

Yeah nice guitar mate.

I've had one amazing amp, my live setup was a 6505 with a SoCal amp loaded with 2x v30 on left and eminence on the right, switchable to join both or mix either, they only tend to mic one anyway.

For me, that was all I needed. Now however, I can emulate absolutely anything in about 5 seconds. AxeFX2 does everything.

8 string fretless metal fingerboard.

Ok so I just checked out the true temperament and it looks interesting.
Still has the characteristics of a standard fretboard i.e finger pressure will alter tuning, but yeah would like to try one.


My move....
My electric guitar, no pickups.

TBH it is expensive but it really suits his style of playing, he did think about the 7 string version
but he already has a 7 and 8 string guitars for his other band as well as my strat

I paid £750 for my candy apple red nitro neck strat (67 re issue)
but most of my other guitars (and there is a lot of them) were under £500
