1. Do you know what to do with it.

2. What are you doing for her. :whistling

[Fromagepas]

That's not it losers, just one very, very like it.

Yes I know what to do with it, to the max.

I've been trying to convince myself that I can justify getting an Epiphone one and she gets me this. Incredible.

[Bionic]

What do you do with her?

[Fromagepas]

What do you do with her?

We sometimes go for a nice meal, maybe take in a show or a concert.

[Mr. Mulder]

ewe know you can download music right, you don't have to make your own :unsure: still, nice axe wound, misses jp!1 :o

Well, that's excellent, then.

She's obviously enamored of you, and knows her guitars into the bargain.

Might she buy you a camera as well so we don't have to view a mere facsimile. :dabs:

I may just do that, Kev. Not ce soir tho'.

She knows what I like in guitars, researched on the web to find out what was a good one. Spent a day going round the shops and then bought that from a guitar builder / repairer in a proper guitar shop.

[clocker]

What an iconic piece 'o kit.
Lovely.

I prefer Fender's neck profile (preferably a D, given my druthers) but, much like a Ducati, it's hard to fault a classic.

Make sure you get a good strap...LP's are heavy and can be hard on the shoulder.

[Fromagepas]

She got me a Gibson strap to go with it, mate. Along with a good lead (gold plate), spare strings (tens), proper polish and string cleaner. The bloke who sold it to her made up a wee bag of accessories.

I used to have a proper Strat. USA made and serial numbered, not like a Japanese or Mexican one (I think that's the other countries Fender made them in). I liked it, a lot but I don't think it's a patch on this. To look at, to play or the sound it makes. This is really one of those "I never thought I would have that" moments.

She said it was my 60th birthday present. Just giving it to me a wee bit early so I could enjoy it.

[CrabGirl]

Awwwwww. This thread has really brightened up my day. You are a lucky lucky man to have such a wonderful woman.....and such a lovely guitar!

[Proper Bo]

I think they did budget ones made with shite parts and cheap wood in japan, the "squier" models.

mine's one of them:emo:

[Lilmiss]

You mean it's the quality of the geetar that makes you sound pants? :o

[Proper Bo]

[j2k4]

Miz J would have to start me with lessons...I meant to learn properly at about age 13 - fellow named Leo Skoronski (played for a while with Joe Maphis somewhere along the line), was a buddy of my Dad's, owed him a favor, and offered to show yours truly the basics+, upon receipt of which news I broke all of my fingers plus thumbs attempting to execute a gymnastic maneuver whose genesis occurred while I was momentarily suspended in mid-air about fifteen feet above terra firma.

I kind of under-thought things for a split-second, then properly fell to the concrete as nature intended me to.

Newton would've been proud.

Anyway, all I really can do with a guitar is look at it, and my wife knows it.

I'll have to hope for something else. :dabs:

Good on your (no doubt) lovely Missus, Jim - take a phoatie of her as well.

Are you asking for a photo of his wife or guitar?:unsure:

[Fromagepas]

There is no part of that which I don't totally agree with.

They did Fender badged ones there as well. I'm sure they moved to like Mexico as well. Gibson made the Epiphones in Korea.

You had;

USA Fender
Foreign Fender
Squier by Fender.

[Fromagepas]

Good on your (no doubt) lovely Missus, Jim - take a phoatie of her as well.

I think we both know that's not going to happen.

Well it is, but I won't be posting the phoaties here.

[Fromagepas]

http://www.woodbrass.com/images/woodbrass/SIMON+PATRICK+SP6GA3.JPG

I can't argue with that.

Other than it being a leftie.

Quite true, which is why I didn't ask you to do that. :noes:

A lass capable of such a gift is bound by nature to be lovely, security status aside.

Still, the guitar? :dabs:

[Sanka113]

Sweet guitar!

I have phoaties but worknet can be a bit of an 4r5e sometimes so I will post on return to chez moi.

[Acid_death69]

I've not polished it up yet, that's what I got it like.

Nice fucking sofa.

Fwah.

Boofoo, mang. ;)

[Fromagepas]

That's quite disturbing actually.

[j2k4]

Sorry, but. :whistling

[Sextent]

I know.

[clocker]

Nice fucking sofa.
That guitar deserves nothing less.

[Skweeky]

Can I have the sofa?

[Fromagepas]

Stop slagging my couch, bar stewards.

[Skweeky]

I'm not slagging it, I fucking like it.

I was going to buy a chesterfield years ago from the local Recap but they still wanted £500 for the set and I was pretty skint at the time. I regret it now though :(

[Fromagepas]

It's partner is a three seater. We think they look nice in the lesser library, which has a traditional feel to it.

[Skweeky]

The lesser library eh?

I knew I should have gone into lawyering instead of trying to learn all these different languages and trying to be all cultural and that.

[Fromagepas]

Wish I had as well but my heart was set on the building trade and that outranks the head.

[Skweeky]

Whit?

Since when have you been a builder?

[Fromagepas]

Who's a builder.

[Skweeky]

I don't know, I'm easily confused these days. I am convinced this baby is actually some sort of brain eating vampire.

[Fromagepas]

Make sure the brain is thoroughly cooked first.

[Skweeky]

It's ok, I don't have Creutzfeldt-Jacob.

[clocker]

Thinking about the "Which Dead Rock Star" thread reminded me of this guy and then I remembered your incredible new present and well, here you go...
Stop! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIArmP6HcZk).
Damn, embedding disabled.

Mike Bloomfield.
One of the very early Les Paul adopters, his touch, tone and attack are unique.

I figure you're probably spending most of your time pretending to be Gary Moore but Bloomfield wouldn't be a bad influence to absorb.
