Title: new arrival and taken out for a test drive
Post by: Oldrottenhead on February 02, 2018, 01:54:21 PM
got my new guitar today, and i must say am quite delighted. straight out of the box all i had to do was tune it, no setting up etc, i just need to learn to play the fecker.

had a wee chord progession going before i got it, so tried it on it, this may end up a song but is just a test drive, excuse bum notes and finger nail catches.

Sounds fab, James and looks it as well. Seems to me you've already taken to it like a duck to water, too. Congratulations!

Lovely looking guitar ORH! I love the natural finish and for me a maple neck is a must on a Tele or Strat.

Nice sounding axe you got there. And she's pretty, too.

it even sounds good unplugged (https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27540628_10156319976417176_1184966135778282865_n.jpg?oh=8613c482e070b9c1940335872b8bdabd&oe=5ADFF4D6)

excuse my drunkeness, not only am i celebrating a new guitar, but also a new job.

mixed emotions cos i've been in current job for 22 years plus 3 prior to that as a volunteer. looking forward to new  job, it will be pretty challenging, so you can expect lots of new songs, as i generally write to release the stress.

new guitar, new job time to write a new song methinks.
