NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Thats real pretty.... just lovely!!

Ormsby guitars are epic; I certainly wish I could justify one, eh, though I'm not sure how someone old like me would cope with a fanned board!!

Thanks for the heads-up!!

Grant... my better half works at St Stephens; what kit were you looking at?! Thanks everyone for the props on the P90s, eh - am sorting some out with the nice bloke wot is the agent!! The whole thing mainly, but paticularly pharma management and patient care interfaces. They have a fancy repack mac...

The worst kind - mostly Kiwi's Yeah... there's apparently quite a few here, eh; loads of OAPs and out-of-work stoners with no wish to work - the oldies are from all over Aus and NZ and seem to use Hervey Bay as a base to join the grey nomad trek around the Lucky Country... There's a whole lot of ga...

Thanks, fellas; I'll invest in a set and we'll go from there!!

@Molly.... yeah, it's OK, really, and we're about 200m from the beach in Point Vernon. It is, however, full of Australians which takes the gloss off it a bit....

You shy, retiring blokes will undoubtedly need to be gently coaxed into sharing your experiences/opinions, but what do y'all know about the Kent Armstrong P90s currently floating about on eBay?? I'd like to put a set in a modded guitar I'm rebuilding, and I have to say, the price is certainly right!!

Can't find any pix of mine at the minute, and it's buried in a mountain of gear under a tarp but I have a NZ made Commodore six string, which was tuned to Em, G6 or C9, depending on the setlist.

I'm currently trying to find a pedal steel with 5 knee levers for less than a kings ransom....

Vantages! Such a mainstay of 80s pub bands! Whatever became of the brand? The parent company - Matsumoku - went out of business in Japan in about 1987, though some Westones and APIIs were still in limited production in Korea until about 1992 when the whole shebang went under. Shame, too, as the ins...

Yay, because after wanting an electric 12 for many years, I have this... http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u66/forthill/VS%20696-12/DSC_0002_zpsorhbdezu.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u66/forthill/VS%20696-12/DSC_0005_zpsjx2sbzpi.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u66/forthill/VS%20696-...

My one... a real mongrel which I'm not sure has much left of the original guitar! http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u66/forthill/Strat/DSC_0001_zps4056d0be.jpg I dearly would love to try a set of BN Irish tour pickups in it; not exactly sure what it has at the moment but it has had about five p/u c...

I know... drowned in Lake Ugly etc. etc.... :lol: BUT.... how many other guitars point (see what I did there?!?!) to a specific era, in this case, the hair metal 80s with such ballsiness and panache?! :evil: Not too sure I'd gig any of these horrors these days, but sure am tempted to take the Raider...

Enough pointy-ness for y'all?!?

My apologies, gents.... yes, it is a Westone - a 1984 Raider II which still needs a little works to complete. I'm tracking down the fonts used on the headstock to do some waterslide decals.

I now have pointies from 4 of the Matsumoku brands which I'll put together soon for a photo op....

For those of a delicate nature, turn away now; this is MEGA-bright... Started out like this.... http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u66/forthill/1984%20Raider%20II/DSC_0002_zpscf496954.jpg .... missing parts and with truly munted points and tuners but with tons of mojo.... http://i165.photobucket.com...

Sat in a rack in the lounge... heavily abused/modified stratothing, Westone Clipper, Vantage VA900, Westone Pantera and Vantage Avenger. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u66/forthill/Avenger%202/DSC_0013_zps4d765726.jpg However, since this was taken, I've 'lost the muse', as it were, and bundled a...
