I told you I'd borrowed my mates Epiphone acoustic. I've been playing it a lot so Mrs JP got me a new acoustic for my very own. Just texted me and said meet me in town from work and there she was with it. Comes with it's own hard case obviousement, she wasn't standing just holding the guitar like a mental.

Gibson CSR. It's solid spruce top and solid rosewood body. Sounds fucking amazing.

I'll probly have a spare set of 12s soon if you want them. I find a 12 too heavy, 10 is a good all round string.

Neither, just making a thread specifically aimed at a mate. Hence the thread title and it specifically mentioning said mates name. As luck would have it we are both into guitars, amongst other things. These include but are not limited to football, the English language and ripping the pish out of fucking idiots.

I thought the purpose of the thread was reasonably clear. I was just given that guitar as a present from my Good Lady. Which was nice, it's the one I would have bought myself. My only slight issue is that I would prefer 10s as opposed to the 12s that it came with. A simple problem, easily solved.

Where all your "Selling or bragging?" nonsense came from is a mystery to me. If you want to troll please do it elsewhere. This is a local forum for local people.

That's a nice guitar, I've played a few Ibanez guitars and I like them.

I used to have a really cool strat which my brother swapped for a bass and an amp, unfortunately he didn't mention this to me prior to doing it. In fact he didn't mention it until I asked for the strat back. It was a proper, made in the USA one as well, limited edition and really nice to play. True Story.

I've been looking to get one for a while now, hoping to find a bargain like one of those Japanese Strat made in the 80s. They are amazing for the price but quite rare now.
