Re: Guitar Gallery
Adrian could put an end to this by posting a pic of one of his creations on a train station platform.

Typical! A serious thread gets derailed again!

Re: Guitar Gallery
Nice, I think I'll have to give up my train-set for guitars.

Thanks!Zaulkin wrote:Such a nice setup there Matt. Very neat board too.
The Matchless is gone, though I currently have two other Matchless and a Badcat, the strat is gone but a Duesenberg has taken its place, and the board is much smaller, but I was actually able to fit everything onto it except the smart clock
Will take an updated photo sometime.

Re: Guitar Gallery
A while back, I posted photos of a Longboard Strat, Gretsch and Levinson I had borrowed off a mate. Well I've been in his toybox again.
Vintage 64 Jazzmaster looking lovely in gold and a very nice player. 60th Anniversary Strat with one piece ash body. Very nice but a very familiar feel to me. I have the 40th anniversary version 60th anniversary Tele. Nothing to look at, but I keep picking it up Custom Shop flamey bling Strat. This is the Ohmygodwow star of the show; mad 3d flames and a tiger stripe neck that equals Conway's finest. I learned a good lesson from this guitar: Custom Shop instruments do not guarantee happiness.
I give this one 2 Meh's. Oh and apologies for the photos; they really don't do justice to anything here; especially this. Now this, on the other hand is a delight. Select Thinline. Weighs about the same as a Parker Fly and while bright in a Teleish way, certainly isn't thin sounding. Something about this one makes me smile. And to finish, a Yairi nylon string. I love classical guitars but I find it really difficult to find one I enjoy playing without paying stupid money. This one's a honey; big crisp tones and gorgeous through an amp. I'm in love. Almost forgot. No, it's not a White Falcon; the pale blue tint is real. There were 70 of these made apparently.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Yeah; I rather like the Jazzmaster too. But as you might imagine, I'm currently like a dog with two dicks in a kennel full of bitches.twangnsnarl wrote:Hnnngh that Jazzmaster.
