I hear of idiots playing chinese whispers on social networking sites all the time.
I don't understand how there lives have become so controlled by rediculous comments concieved by the most boring, irresponsible, no life idiots that wish to allow insecure people to blow everything out of proportion. Actually that sounds quite fun, but i won't do it. haha.
I remember when you could walk into a bar, introduce yourself whilst downing your first pint and make friends honestly. Now it seams you must prebook your arrival by social networking! What?
Anyway, I love Guitars more than most people, so hello all!!(also hello people)

Feels good to get it off your chest. ahhhhh.
I'v good some nice things.
Lez Paul Custom Historic reissue. Black Beauty, 40th Fender Strat, And little more budgeted Ibanez SZR520 Which is my current favourite. It really is a great peice of firewood. Only joking. Its a little beauty.

Nothing wrong with the Ibanez stuff I think - I think I've even looked at the SZR520, thats a nice, straightforward guitar with two humbuckers I think?

My stash doesn't have any Fenders or Gibbos either (sadly) - what I've got are a couple of Japanese Ibanez's from the '80s i.e. a JP20 Joe Pass jazz guitar (1980) and an AH10 Holdsworth model (1985) - I've had them both from new. I made a telecaster from parts not so long ago, and am in the process of making a strat as well. Plus a mediocre Blueridge brand acoustic, and a nice Burguet (spanish handmade) classical. Oh, and I recently got a Shine SIL510 for £150 which is a surprisingly good guitar, though it did need some general sorting out and I changed the pickups.

More Guitars than I need really ha ha, like you I just like the things!

Keep me posted on those projects. I'm Looking at building a canjo. Check them out on youtube.
Have you ever tried a refret job, cause thats my next project when time allows, and just need some experience feedback.
Nice gear by the way. Got to love the old stuff when Guitars were built for a reason.
My dads got an ibanez AG75 Artcore. New but classic. Nice melody maker.

Welcome Rob. My latest acquisition was an 85 Gordon Smith Gypsy 2 and I have an 88 Epi acoustic so you could say I favour the older ones myself. (Don't let my wife hear me say that)
