I have an addiction to twins...

[Twinfan]

Unlike the rest of you - I'm not so convinced.

Twinfan mate - You are indeed insane - But we love you anyway.

*warm and fuzzy feeling inside*

Thanks Noodle  :lol:

Oh and if anyone ever sees a McCarty Korina in Vintage Natural (like mine) with a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, original style bird inlays and a one-piece body you let me know......

Funnily enough, I was at a car boot sale last week....

I'll just say that even though they look the same, I am guessing that they don't sound and play the same, since they are different pieces of wood?

You'd be surprised how similar they are actually, which is what I was hoping for.  Very consistent, they were made a month apart so probably from the same batch of Korina.  One has a two-piece body compared to the other's one-piece as well, and there's no difference in sustain or tone that I can detect yet.  Perfect  :)

Thinking about it, my first set of twins are now triplets...................

One has a different colour tone and volume control.
I think you should buy a 4th with the same colour controls. :D
have you got your band finalised yet? I know a good female rock singer that is looking in Manchester if you need one. 

[Twinfan]

Cheers Matt, but we're sorted for a singer and the rest of the band.  Currently going through rehearsals, got about one set's worth of stuff sorted.  We're looking to start gigging in October time after our bass player has had his paternity leave...

[Matt77]

No worries. keep me posted when you get up and running and I'll dig out my old faded Motley Crue T-shirt and come along to watch.

I notice you didn't say no to a 4th  :)

Sorry late to post..your not mad, glad to hear bands working out.....and does this mean when bands up and running I can justify more guitars?

Never say never

Yep.  Best way ever to justify guitars!  I always buy a new one for a band I join.

[sgmypod]

Cool need a new one then *L*

[Will]

I'm very shocked that your Jackson is going, I thought you liked that lots?

[Twinfan]

I do like it - a lot.  But I need to finance the McCarty, plus I have the Kramer Baretta (and the odd Ibanez  :roll:) for any whammy duties.  Plus I prefer a maple 'board on a superstrat.

Does it also work retrospectively? 

If it does, I need to start joining/quitting/being kicked out of bands fast... I have about 50-60 guitars to justify. :(

[dave_mc]

Cheers Dave.  There is some logic there, but I'm expecting MartinW to give me a right bashing when he's back from holiday.  He wanted me to just gig #1!

It was a cracking price.  The same as buying a used one in the US and importing it  :o

yeah, that does sound extremely decently priced!

if i were gigging, i expect i'd have spares too. I guess that's one (dubious) advantage of not gigging... not having to buy two of everything.

[il˙ti]

If I was gigging, I'd rather settle for a less-than-perfect backup guitar than spend that much dough on something I already have, just to have it on a stand all the time. If I was a pro (or stinkin' rich) it'd be different obviously. But yeah, if you feel justified, and obviously you do, more power to ya. Congrats.
