Guitar Nerds Anonymous

Nice work dude, that looks very sweet. Dig the headstock inlay and tuners. Looks like you got a bargain.

I never did get the rig actually, mate of mine got it and amplitude on the iPad. Seems like a lot of fun.

Anyone know anything about accordions? I might have four to shift on someone's behalf?

After years of ocassional fumbling ive recently managed to give my music-apathy a big fuck you, and have actually started to learn to play properly.

Been knuckling down with bluegrass/flatpicking rag type stuff and have been amazed at the wonderful music I can coax out of these wooden boxes.

So I decided to treat myself to a better guitar. Spotted a second-hand Johnson J027 at hobgoblin website so popped in and bought it, managing to knock off an extra £10 too.

So got this:

For £140, which is pretty fab for what is a very good imitation of a Martin 000 guitar, with rosewood back & sides and spruce, plus nice details like semi-V neck. It sells for around £399 / $899 new so am feeling fairly chuffed.

Heres some better pictures of someone elses I found on the net (mine is nicer colour):

It fitted me better (size/shape) than any guitar id tried before, and am very excited about picking it up tomorrow.
