Must... restrain impulse to make... terribly bad double entendre....

It's not bad, abit to 'strat' shaped for my liking, I prefer mine though,
a true classic.

Oh gods, quick, hide this thread before Paddy finds it

Isn't he busy fighting with sid while Mr Rhombus baits them mercilessly?

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.

I love guitars. My fav is BC Rich Warlock BASS!!! Aaarrrgghh!!!)))

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

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

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

With you on that one.

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

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

It's hard to play when you are sitting, he-he

The sitting Warlock-player:
"Argh! Ouch! It bit me!"
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.
