If you like guitars

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

13 is a good age for starting. I was 34 when I bought my first.. By the way-I needed half a year to find a setup for my guitar that would make it stop snarling as mad..
I only dream of guitars like those miraculous Myka thingies from the link above.. :|
Well, I still have to learn playing a guitar properly before it´s worth thinking of a better guitar.

did you get the wee 10 watt amp as well?...

good starter pack...my youngest got one when she was 13 too...

my b*st*rd is 24 years old now...beat up Les Paul copy...still sounds great even without the old H&H amp...

no electric for me. Started 2 years ago in the alternative music school based on chords. Will start 3rd year next week. Bougth myself for X-mas a simon and patrick with cutaway and prick-up.

front solid cedar
back and sidesred wild cherry
neck silver leaf maple
finish semi gloss
cutaway
electronics B-band A3.2 (quite good)

mostly place accoustic sometimes on my rolang microcube :twisted:

Jolly good guitar with a suberb sound. Can easily match the sound of a guitar twice as expensive. ;D

strings : elixir phosphor bronze nanoweb 0.11. Expensive but worth the money :von:

With you on that one. :notworthy:

(Though mine's a guitar & not a bass)

Not the most comfortable things to hold/play though are they?!

When I´m grown up, I want to have a Hagstrom Deluxe or Swede or one of those nice Gordon Smith guitars. Whenever I read reports about them their owners are enthiusiastic. :D
