NGD!

Post by jeremyb »

I'm not one for posting NxD threads for a long time but this purchase just makes me giggle so much when I play with it!

I bought this for playing on the couch while watching telly or whatever, its a Blackstar Carry-on Travel Guitar, 20.7" scale strung with 12-54s in E Standard, single mini humbucker in the bridge and fit and finish is really great! Neck is very comfy and apart from the action being a little higher than I normally run it plays great!

Looks pretty cool
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Two steps and the squelching would put me off.
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.

So it turns out a baritone ukulele bag is a perfect fit for this, so storage woes fixed! The higher priced bundles come with a bag but I didn't want all the other guff...

I've come close to grabbing one of those. Thought it would make a nice lap steel?

Funnily enough the first person I showed it to wondered if it was a lap steel :lol: I don't know much about lap steels but it would likely hit that mark for bugger all $$ I find it hard to believe these are only $349!
