There really is nothing better...

...than playing your absolute favourite guitar, after having fitted a fresh set of strings and treated the fingerboard with lemon oil, on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Absolute bliss, and worth selling the Ducati for  :D

Yeah Twinfan... and mow that lawn as well!

[Twinfan]

Jeez - you're as bad as the missus!  :lol:

[Dreichlift]

It'll choke the mower if you don't :D

Very nice- I shall refrain from horticultural comments as my own garden is jungle like right now.

Yeah I thought you Brits always cut the grass with nail scissors?

By the way talking about lemon oil. I got a bottle of this Fret Doctor stuff and gotta say, it's most awesome stuff. With Lemon Oil it always looked nice for 2 days and then seemed to dry out somewhat. This stuff keeps it dark and juicy (not sticky).

^ some people do. their aim in life seems to be to make the rest of us look bad :lol:

i hate restringing, it takes time away from playing. plus i'm rubbish at it and it normally takes 3 times as long as it should :lol:

I've never cut the grass in my garden.  Fortunately it dies back a bit in the winter.

On a more serious note, not sure about the "really is nothing better than playing" thing.  I'm not interested at all at the moment.  This rut I'm stuck in is getting pretty deep after 25 years.  Often think about just packing it in altogether, but I still like the guitars themselves too much to just dump them.

Buy something that will inspire you Phil - how about a new amp????

[Philly Q]

I think I need something more life-changing than that - a near-death experience perhaps?  :?


(That's not an invitation to anyone to "almost" kill me....  :| )

[Twinfan]

:lol:

I should hope not!

A decent amp can be a tone-changing experience  ;)
