I'm 43 in December (that makes me 42 by the way)

Which makes it too expensive to buy a decent guitar made the same year as I was.

So for all you youngsters find such an item now becasue you will wish to do a similaraly stupid thing when you are older.

Oh I dunno, the Yamaha SGs and I think the gibson L500 (the one santanna used for a little while).

Bugger!  Wish I hadn't mentioned it now.   :lol:

I'm 42, but probably wouldn't have 'fessed up if a few of you lads weren't even older.   :wink:  You don't feel much different in your head, though, do you?  It's only when you look in the mirror that the full horror hits you...

1964 was a good guitar year, but I sold my only '64 guitar.  I've got one from '65, and I think that's the end of my flirtation with the vintage market.

You guys are all much younger than me - I was 52 last month, but I was still at TO's last 2 gigs enjoying myself.  I am seeing Robin Trower next weekend and the weekend after is the BK get together at my place.

My philosophy is the old Eric Morcombe one 'you are only as you as the woman you feel' - unfortuately it gets to be an expensive one if you have to keep trading wives in!!!

But I really believe if you have an open mind and love music that it all keeps you young.  I really love the blues and classic rock, but will listen to anything (other than Country & Western {different to Country}, and gangsta rap).  I have an eclectic taste in music and this keeps me young too.

i'm actually finally doing the things i should have done in my early twenties, but which circumstances never allowed, so i think i'll just stay in my twenties for a few more years, time's an abstract concept anyway! :wink:

'89?  I'd buy a Jem or RG Ibanez.  Maybe a Jackson or Charvel if you're feeling flush!  Classic guitars from that period.

Yeah, I was thinking of those, as that's what the "era" was all about really - but they're not my thing...I won't bother with it tbh, I'm gonna get the Legra and then I'm gonna get an Ibanez Artcore i reckon (with Crawlers and Stormy Mondays respectively of course)

Now a Lucille sounds like a pretty classy choice to me :)

For 12 srings 1989 was a good year as the Roger McGuinn sig model was released sig model (less than 1000 made) prices are leaping up now :(
It was also the year this was built http://homer.netmar.com/~muscon2/r303.jpg I love double necks and almost bought a shergold bass & 12 about a month ago

The 12 string strats play pretty nice though and are pretty affordable (lets see what pickup Tim would recomend for that :) )

If you play bass too theres this : @ http://www.newkingsroadguitars.co.uk/basses.htm

(B157) 1989 Fender Jazz bass, USA made, classic sunburst with rosewood neck and white pickguard. original case.£599

Plus, all that drinking! I got back to Phil's place at about 1.45am this morning, and we stayed up till about 3am drinking Young's (well, I had Young's and Phil stuck with the ole Sammy Smith).

DISCLAIMER: I'm still officially NOT a Bare Knuckler, 'cause the Black Dog set I ordered was shipped to the wrong address, so they were sent back to the UK. Then they were reshipped to the correct address. Then I had to send them back because they got the order wrong (I ordered 1 covered and 1 uncovered, but they covered the wrong one.) So I'm still waiting. :evil:

Well, I'm gonna turn 33 on this Thursday Oct 12th and I feel that everything is just about turning around for me.

I've had a pretty challenging period of self-discovery over the last decade and you know what... I've come full circle and realised that the attitude I had at 17 was spot on.

With that frame of mind and a few new tricks picked up in the interviening years I'm about ready to "rock hard!!" for the next couple of decades at least.

Here's to you guys - all my spiritual bros on this forum who know the value of...

The problem comes with me not having £1450 though :lol:

18th next May, and my Dad reckons a guitar the same age as me would be quite a cool present after I mentioned it yesterday (but he hasn't seen the price tag yet) so I might take him round some shops and have a look if there's anything around nearer the time :)

Show him the 3K McGuinn model then (www.ricsrus.com) then show him the lucile that may help (yeah right)

I would say try the 12 string strat theyre fun, as it should be pretty nice with the top end that the Engl seems to have. Even better get time to invent a new pickup for you hahaha.

Thers a lot of nice stuff out there (yes there are decent guitars from every year, just some are harder to find).

As Richard Dawkins would say I'm successful as I have already passed my genes on (more than once)

With comments like that your chances of success are becoming more remote every time somebody reads it ;)

The chances of your statement being correct are also decreasing everytime one of us coffin dodgers reads it (it's amazing the amount of damage you can do with a pair of carpet slippers)

It was refinished as a sunburst in the late 50's or early 60's.  It is actually the guitar on the cover of the 'Atlantic Blues Guitar' cd, so if anyone has that you know what it looks like.  If you don't, it is the cherry sunburst in the pic attached.

Show him the 3K McGuinn model then (www.ricsrus.com) then show him the lucile that may help (yeah right)

I would say try the 12 string strat theyre fun, as it should be pretty nice with the top end that the Engl seems to have. Even better get time to invent a new pickup for you hahaha.

Don't have anywhere near the cash right now, I'll be looking around nearer the time - even if I don't find anything it'll be fun spending a day or two looking 'round the shops and marvelling at the real old stuff they've got there :drink:

As Richard Dawkins would say I'm successful as I have already passed my genes on (more than once)

With comments like that your chances of success are becoming more remote every time somebody reads it ;)

The chances of your statement being correct are also decreasing everytime one of us coffin dodgers reads it (it's amazing the amount of damage you can do with a pair of carpet slippers)

It was refinished as a sunburst in the late 50's or early 60's.  It is actually the guitar on the cover of the 'Atlantic Blues Guitar' cd, so if anyone has that you know what it looks like.  If you don't, it is the cherry sunburst in the pic attached.


Whow, I would love to have a real 50's Gibbo, even as a refin, rerout, reglue, rewhatever. Although, with that kind of money I could buy a house.

Is this the CD? Do you play on it?

That's the cd.  The sunburst is sprayed wrong on the guitar, which is the first giveaway, then the grain is very distinctive, and fianally, it is a 3 piece top.

I hate to tell you this, but you payed a lot more for the VOS than I did for the 53 (I bought it about 11/12 years ago).  I don't play on the cd - I was never that famous (or that old!!).

OK the crux of the question is 'Do you like them?' If you do, and you should if you like rock and metal. That's over two years worth of sourcing some of the material. 20 years worth of earning, buying. 3 weeks worth of itunes loading.

That's just wrong (and I think Sambo was too young to get the smiley).
I'm 28, and I quite like being 28. I am quite surprised how many people are either in the under 20 or over 40 bracket, no wonder people here have such questionable taste in music ;)
 I think the 20-40 group should team up for this clash. There's less of us, but I think we have the right balance of strength, fitness, experience and training  :wink:

My Elephant memory is failing me! I used to do Tai Kwon Do when I was 21. They say Cong Ying and bow and then have a scr@p. It was very educational and i still employ the stretching exercises to this day. It's superb for your fore-arm muscles and legs. So you can chug like a demonic bar-steward from hell and jump of the telly without getting hurt!! Then dump a monitor straight on a showsec employee and laugh! Well one can dream! One day, one day!  :twisted:  :roll:  :lol:

Thank you to all my BKP brothers for all your birthday wishes!

I see that you are offering Sambo's services as part present / part human sacrifice.....

Though I am sure he would benefit greatly from my attention - I have to decline....:lol:

I had a good think about what type of person I've been shagging in the past and I realised that they were all women.

So I asked a mate and he said that is a good sign that I'm straight!

You've had a lucky escape dear Sambo...  :lol:  :lol: Maybe next year!!

34 years old.

I do Wing Chun Kung Fu, and would feel duty-bound to defend the honour of the older BKP forumites against the scallywag contingent (yeah, that means you, Sambo!).

Having said that, I've only got a white belt so far, so I'm more likely to damage myself than anyone else.

God, raging hormones.  I can barely remember that phase.  I can remember the lack of money though.

It's good to see so many oldies have martial arts skills.  I'll stay behind and shout words of encouragement.

Almost missed the roll call....  :) I'm 31. My martial arts skills are nil (apart from a very bad impersonation of Karate Kid doing his crane stuff) so you'll more likely to see me run than fight in a brawl. Off course if there'd be a pub nearby I'd take cover there and hang back and enjoy the view, or maybe play some music while you guys beat each other to pulp using sinister martial arts techniques :roll:

I could always learn origami and we could have competitions making paper models of  swans.

I am 35

No martial arts, but I stopped smoking 6 months ago after 20 years, do daily exercises since 3 months and focus on positive energies, which all help me be a better person and guitarist indeed.
