Now gotta practice more.
Another reason for an acoustic is my folks (esp. my mum who can/will still clip me round the ear lol) will wanna see I can play after buying 5 guitars LOL. She will not be into an electric (too loud for her) so the acoustic is a good idea.
See, I have ALL the excuses why gotta have summit LOL

cause my gran lives in dorset you see.... and sooner or later.... it'll be time to visit.... in fact... i think maybe i should go quite soon, i havent seen her in quite a while.... maybe july sort of time.... and i hear wiltshire is a particularly nice place that time of year... :roll: :lol:

and yer an atlas would be good lol....

And, just to total up for ya Sam.

Jackson+Ernie Ball #1+Ernie Ball #2+Les Paul (that one was $$$)+Ovation
= 1,900 gbp or a Les Paul + 1/2 a Jackson ;)

Not so bad huh.

In UK (best can tell)

Jackson = 800 gbp
Les Paul = 1,300 gbp
Ernie Ball = 1,100 gbp ( x2)
Ovation = 1,200 gbp

= 5,500 gbp

So, NOT too shabby!

....you had to go and rub it in didnt you....

Dakine · « **Reply #37 on:** February 26, 2006, 12:53:45 AM »

Definately was NOT trying to rub it in buddy.
Just trying to show, not rich or a showoff. Just trying to make some good purchases while I can is all.

Could basically never imagine getting that lot in the UK.

But here, well you see how I have done.

It's alot, esp. as am a "learner", but if I had waited, could'nt have done it.
Guitars don't have expiration dates, so no matter what, they will be there. Just got them while I could.

Timing, savings/cash in hand/funds, research! Remember buddy ;)

You are young, you WILL get there :)

All guitarists are still learners though! I know what you mean about buying stuff when its cheap, I missed out on a great deal on a hotplate because I thought "I allready have an attentuator" then now I realise how cr@p it actaully is and how much I want a hotplate :lol:

lol yer i know you werent deliberately rubbing it in dude dont worry. you really have done well with all your purchases mate. i would be happy if i managed half your lot for the cash (if i had it lol). looks like the U.S is the place to be for guitar equipment (and a lot of other stuff i spose) as long as you know what you want and what to look for.
