Shock horror! Twinfan's buying a 'modern' guitar!

[Twinfan]

I've turned down/walked away from buying a second guitar this week so I'm not completely insane!

What was it Dave? Don't tell me it was a Minarik  :D

:lol:

It was an Edwards LP Junior in TV Yellow.....

[Twinfan]

I'll admit I'm not too fussed about the looks, but Dave has some killer looking guitars anyway so to have something different with top notch build and a real player is going to take some pressure off the top flight stuff when it comes to gigging.

That's the general plan, plus as I said I like trying stuff out!  I've tried to cut my guitar cache down to single figures but I really can't drop it that low.  So I've given up trying!

I'm trying to accept the fact that a lot of choice (when it comes to gigging) is a GOOD thing....

i really like the sound of padauk - one of my favorite alternative woods.  Its not as mapley as some would have you believe.  A nice attack and can still growl nicely

[Twinfan]

Cheers Wez - I thought you'd mentioned it at some point.  I believe it's a bit of a cross between rosewood and mahogany?

I'll have to make sure I have it on me for you to check out next time we meet up.

Was that on eBay?  I think I was watching it.

[Twinfan]

Nope, I came across one elsewhere.

£380 with a gig bag, which seemed a fair price for a nitro finish and an SD P-90.....

Here ....... this is a bit of a novel thread .... Twinfan buying a new guitar........ haven't I read this already last week, ............... and the week before, ............. and the week before ....... and..... PDT_006

Yeps. Noticed a pattern, too ? :lol:

@Twinfan:

Not quite my cup of tea, but at least it's not kinda 7 strings drop-tuned metal machine - which I feared reading the subject line

was that on the tokai forum?

[Twinfan]

Maybe  ;)

[Twinfan]

Well it's arrived.  SCR 00001 is now in my possesion  :)

Now, when can I finish work.............?

[AndyR]

Oh do you actually work? :lol:

I thought you were a man of independent means :lol:

Nice one, looking forward to hearing about this one. Is it "at home" waiting, or sat in the corner of the office looking at you while you're working?

[Twinfan]

It's sat in the boot of the car!  Too distracting to have it in eye sight.....

[ToneMonkey]

So you're on here talking about it instead.

I'd jack in work for the day, don't think your hearts in it  :lol:

[dave_mc]

just watch somebody doesn't nick it out of your boot (unless your car is in view).
