Re: Would you happily play a really cheap guitar?
Sure, but I think I've only encountered one really cheap guitar that didn't need a bunch of upgrades to make it worthwhile. An old USA Peavey Predator I got for $80 or something that I wish I'd kept. Otherwise they generally feel like what they cost.

Re: NGD (more or less) D18!
Oh Yesss! Happy Awesome New Guitar Day! Couple of years ago, I went looking for a D18GE. What I ended up with was a Taylor and a Lowden. Not saying that's a bad segue, but I still don't have a D18. Haha, not a bad outcome really. What's the Taylor? D18s have always seemed liked the be all of acoust...

NGD (more or less) D18!
After some great service from Ady at the Guitar Gallery, and via a setup by Rob Matthews, I've ended up with what really should be all the guitar I'm ever going to need

Little bit! Try Jam Man if you haven't already - easy enough Chet song.

Re: Jansen reissues
Interestingly. Mel from Weta and I were chatting about Jansens and the infamous mr dench. He was saying that when Denche was in completist mode collecting every Jansen model, denche commissioned him to make up some bodies to go with old necks and parts Denche had to make up examples. Oh wow, that g...

Re: Jansen reiss
I guess they are fake copies, but then most reissues are really. Were the old ones any good?Rog wrote:I tried one, it played well, but I couldn’t help thinking I was just playing a fake copy. Then again I used to own the old ones in the ‘60s so I am somewhat biased.

Jansen reissues
Anyone played/owned any of these? Looking for a second guitar, something quirky, and wondering what these are like.

NAD! The amp to end all amps :D 84698511_1428448994023140_1725855878306856960_o.jpg In my opinion, the black/silver face Princeton Reverb is the must have amp in a collection. I almost sold mine (1973 Silverface) to buy some silly guitar about 2 years ago. Thankfully it didn’t happen. Congrats. It ...

Re: Where do you get bodies?
I'm pretty hamfisted at that sort of thing and really don't have the time. But yeah, it would be a smart way to go.NippleWrestler wrote:Why not try make your own? It's seriously easy for fender styles, especially teles which are mostly a slab.
Then you can be assured of the weight, grain pattern, whatever else.
