"equatorial hardwood"

- i know what you mean. i have a ltd edition taylor 810 with brazilian rosewood that chimes like a bell forever

wotcher oh.

nope, but it keeps me going from november through to january end. how are they biting?

yes, the 335 is a very sweet sounding guitar. best through a good clean channel i reckon

Most guitars through a clean channel, are "missing something" but a Gibson, is just amazing.

I can play stuff I normally reserve for my Brazilian Spanish guitar (...and that is one hell of a sound man, its that equatorial hardwood, wow does it resonate).

Really excellent for a bit of "Rockabilly"

Hey, that's not much cop for slinging out a hairy mary!

looks mean. what's the guitar. what's the amp?

Both Yamaha, the guitar is an RXG something or other and the amp is an HR-2000. Got a few nice FX pedals as well including an old wah-wah box that I found at a flea market which built siren and wind noise effects.

yes, the 335 is a very sweet sounding guitar. best through a good clean channel i reckon and through the mesa it sounds better than through a fender deluxe. but it's really not my 'sound'. i only bought it to try it out and reckon that i'm purely a strat man, so i'll probably be selling it soon [along with the marshalls and the peavey ]

..hmm don't like strats, too tinny for my liking sounds like a cat with distemper, but the Gibson

How much did you pay for the Gibson, is it "mellow"?

what amp do you use just now?

more jimi hendrix i guess, with a touch of lowell george.

Are you Jimmy Page or more Elain Paige though?

mesa rules. what a machine.

I was going to suggest you might write the songs that make the whole world sing...


We could start with a cover of Immigrant song or maybe Our House (prices remix 2005).

I can write you music. The stuff I've done on the fruit machines has gone down rather well:

Plinkety plinkety plonk, plinkety plinkety plonk, bur bur bur bur, ping.

Lets form a band.... the rest was history

looks mean. what's the guitar. what's the amp?
