Guitar Nerds Anonymous

Just found a THR-5 on ebay for £110 delivered. Ordered.

Now how to hide it from the wife...

Plz, don't play that game...

I picked up a Taylor GS Mini (rosewood) yesterday to replace my 'bellied' acoustic. Someone at work was selling it super cheap and I couldn't refuse. The size of the body is taking a little time to get used to but it sounds great for a little guitar.

I'm trying out a few parlour guitars this week to see if I can find anything nicer (bluesier) for sofa playing.

^^i’m not into hiding things. Downplaying value a bit, definitely.

All good, man!

Anyone want to buy a Fuzz Factory?

thanks for puttimg this up. Never heard of him before, his stuff is great!

This just came up for sale here in Brissy, I fucking love it... 60s Kyowa Tele/P-bass for only AU$300... Would happily swap my Dano Longhorn for it...

that is mintox.

is it just me or does that action looks high af, which could mean a shonky neck? 300 notes is surely doable...

Anything is fixable... That's the only pic I have, my mate thought it was only $50 and was still humming and ha-ing about wether to buy it or not... Hopeless cheapskate... The $50 was an Essex P-bass copy which looks fab for only fifty bucks tbh... I've already got the Longhorn which is great for recording, don't need this at all...

I'd rather have that 100W JCM900 tbh... That would give me the cheapest Marshall full stack of all time I reckon*... Just over AU$1k...

* in the current market, obvs...

THR5 arrived. Sounds great.

Done the obligatory new amp with built in chorus and delay Purple Rain thing ad nauseum.

Currently waiting for house to myself so I can have a play with some more hairy settings

Did another thing. ☹

Couldn't pass it up at such a price so I'm now the proud owner of an Ibanez Prestige RG2228 made in Japan.

So good, I've almost bought that very guitar at least three times since we arrived in Oz...

That's awesome and so cheap!

I know

Have really overspent lately tho.

Tell me about it :(

That isn't far off retail tho', they're always on sale over here...

The was an end of financial year sale a while back and the price dipped below $180, I would've bought one had I not just bought the Kim guitar... Would've got more use out of it too!!!

Anybody selling a cheap Jazzmaster/Jaguar or something interesting with a trem? Preferably not white or sunburst, pink or sparkly would be ace, preferably Fender not Squier... A Danelectro might be OK... For an old London based friend, she's VERY indecisive!!! Must be very cheap, she hasn't got a big budget...

Also anyone got a little valve amp they wanna shift? She needs one of those too...

I've tried to steer her in the direction of a J Mascis Jazzy and an AC4, but she's still unsure...

She's really good people, if I were nearer I'd just loan her one of mine 'TIL SHE COULD MAKE HER BLOODY MIND UP!!! Plz hlp... 😂

Sound advice. Sorry I can’t help.

I’ve been hankering after something cheap (and a bit different from the usual budget versions of Gibsons) with humbuckers to play for an upcoming Sabbath related get together. Remembered an old Washburn I had while at school which thought would be ideal... googled it; Washburn Hawk. They go for £700 now. Damn.

There are a bunch of fairly similar Japanese built models under various brands from that era. I've got Matsumoku built Vantage brand guitar and bass, both neck-through. Possibly not exactly bargainous these days, although I can't imaging getting quite that kind of a price, at least locally.
