Title: Mother Of Pearl Plectrums, My Conklin 8 and hello again!
Post by: Philosoful on March 28, 2010, 07:29:21 PM

Don't really come on here now but I finally got my Conklin 8 on a skydiving trip to the USA, also now a Grade A Skydiver! Good times! Here's the Conklin:

AND I'm making Mother Of Pearl plectrums to order. Custom pics I've never seen done before and after disliking something of every pic I've tried, guess the resolution?! Here's some of my pics, a Facebook group with more info and some rather nice quotes I've had thus far and such. I might take a while to respond on here so you'll probably be better dropping a message on there as I don't come on forums much now:

Nice to see you again , with life treating you well.  :)

An interesting choice of hobby combination there : Did you grab the guitar on the way down ?

Nah! S'really not that bad. Having said that my 7 string does feel like a toy now :lol:

Thanks Feline. Awesome hobby combo, best 2 things in the world for me at the moment I think, so many things to learn skydiving and different things to try and likewise with the new axe. Am uploading a vid on it as we speak! It'll be up soon @ the following:
