    NAD Blackstar FLY 3

    After reading all the glowing reports on here and in the press, i thought i'd pull the trigger on a Fly 3. The HT1R-H i have is awesome but i was struggling to justify the Fly 3 purchase so i decided to back off the Fly and thought it too much of a luxury. The following day, my copy of Guitar &...

    Guitars In Other Countries

    Historically, American made guitars were better than most. They had a perceived quality almost because they were American made and this perception is still valid to a certain degree today. However, if the people who swear they will only play American and do not play Asian guitars, they are...

    NGD Project Jazzcaster

    When I got the pickup (SD Quarter Pounder) I tried what I usually do wit SD pups, I used Micromesh to get rid if the 'Seymour Duncan' printed on the top. Thing is, I've only ever done it on buckers which have the plastic bobbins. The Quarter Pounder being a tele bridge pickup is a metal bobbin...

    NGD Project Jazzcaster

    Johnnygoo, thanks for your comments. It started off as a failed project/bitsa guitar bought off e-bay. Basically a body and neck with broken bridge pickup and....thats it! It sat on my bench waiting for inspiration for a while. I knew from the off it was going to be a single pickup as i've had a...

    The worst day today. Off on a trip to Rainbow Bridge is Jack. Gutted. Thank you my faithful friend.

    Back for a bit

    OK, short and sweet. Not been on here for a while really, my best friend is crocked. Jack was fine over Christmas and New Year. Never been over weight, fit and faithful, jumping in and out of the car like he has for the past 12 years. A couple of weeks ago, he started slowing down, then he...

    SG Watch

    http://youtu.be/lWyu1ygotAs Went up the Valleys the other night to see Phil Campbells All Starr Band (Phil Campbell of Motorhead's side project). They were brilliant as were the support band Fireroad (who i saw supporting Little Ceasar a few months ago. The surprise for me was the second...

    Know my face!

    So, I get a friend request on Facebook from my cousin who I have not seen since 1985. We exchange some messages and she asks me what I look like now. I tried to describe myself; obviously older now(45), more wrinkles, bags under my eyes and a grey beard as well as putting on a couple 'o' pounds...

    under construction

    A bit like a 'Lonnie Mack' V? Impressive bit of engineering: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lonnie+mack+flying+v&biw=1024&bih=673&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ydA3VM3-GJLgaOu5geAD&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

    under construction

    With a flying V body and that 3+3, you are not a million miles away from 'Albert King' which is a project I wouldn't mind doing!

    NPD: Think of a colour

    No, BRG on a later project, one that is formulating as I finish this and start the Hissing Sid for #1 son.

    NPD: Think of a colour

    The colour has been decided chaps, green was an option but have decided that I'm actually going for a darker green (Cadillac, Sherwood, BRG) on a later project. The bridge is the pressing matter (not too pressing) for Project: Hissing Sid!

    NPD: Think of a colour

    Well, Project: Broadmaster is out for paint and finish now and I eventually went for..........no, i'll show you it when it's done. Sufficed to say, all my deliberations and rules went out the window. I took too long and over thought it so forced myself to allow the gods to choose and went...

    Natural ability?

    My son Lowan (6) is a massive Slash fan. He has three posters on his wall, 'The Who live at the Isle of Wight' (Pete Townshend), a picture of Peter Green and Slash who he calls 'The Cat in the Hat' as if they are close personal friends. Favourite video? a toss up between 'November Rain' and...

    Anyone ever played a Ibanez RG550?

    In a nutshell, aimed towards the heavier end of the musical spectrum. Very slim necks, 'dive bomber' trem as I call them, can be surprisingly versatile sound wise although limited. You can get some reasonably glassy clean sounds if you mess around with you knobs and amp but what it does really...

    Brand Loyalty - Breaking the chain

    Not it at all i'm afraid. Yes Gibson, Fender, Gretsch and Rickenbacker make great instruments and i will not contradict that. I LOVE them. What i'm saying is they are not the bee all and end all; the pinnacle of guitar ownership. I get a magazine here in the UK called 'Guitar and Bass'. I went...
