I have a few electro-acoustics, all Ovation and I love the feel of them - all small bowl-backed as well, so neatly fitting into your body.

My Ovation Pinnacle six string used to be my favourite, until I got an Ovation 12 string and the sounds is just superb. :p

Lol , yes, gorgeous.

Don't get me wrong , I love this vintage one but to my ears/fingers there's not much between it and a Gibson custom shop '57 RI that I owned and stupidly sold last year and that was a lot cheaper

Before the Middlesbrough game on saturday I took a trip down to the scene of our last victory in the league, Bournemouth, and picked up a new toy....

This is now my 2008 Taylor 814ce and my word it's a pretty thing. Not to mention a full bodied sounding guitar! Just feels premium all over.

I have a 12 string Takamine which I don't play much. I try to play finger style and the 12 string set up doesn't really suit. I was looking at possible alternatives to string set up so I can get more out of this nice guitar and read that Rickenbacker string their 12 strings with the lower string of the pair on top as opposed to most 12 strings which have the higher string of the pair on top. Roger McGuinn of the Byrds plays one (expertly).

I restrung it with the pairs of strings the other way round and wow, what a difference. It sounds fantastic and now I can play it as I want. It is currently at Feline Guitars having the nut and saddle sorted to properly accommodate the new set up. In the meantime, I have been on YouTube working through some tutorials on Roger McGuinn stuff especially Turn Turn Turn. Sounds good on a six string but I am really looking forward to getting the 12 string back to see what it sounds like on that.

I bought one of these this week. It has a nice neck, especially for the price, and a sweet tone in the neck position.

Get Maidstoned toput a picture of his new guitar. My other half made it for him.

She made all these

Lol.

Nice work PG, you've got some classics there for sure.

It's our 25th in a few weeks. My wife is getting a nice new ring. She has bought me one of these.

Nice. Have you received it yet?

Kind of. It's at home, checked over once and since unused, but will be rehearsed with next Tuesday and played during a very short set at our party the following Saturday.

Like that, Tim. OK, folks, Mesa combos. Anyone own or tried out the Nomad, or would recommend another model? Ideally after two or more channels with footswitch. Can get a Nomad for under £500. For my SG2000 - the Vibrolux doesn't quite cut it.

if you're still in the market for a LPJ there is a British company that makes custom LPJ's for under a grand.

Never played one but meant to be pretty great for the price and handmade in UK.

Probably have to upgrade some of the parts but build quality meant to pretty legit.

Thanks, KOW, but if I do get one, it will be a vintage model. Still too enamoured with the SG2000 to consider anything much else at the moment. Dallas Rangemaster and Mesa amp next for me. Having a bit of a clear out and will sell Mesa 1 x 15 80's bass cab, '95 lefty MIM Tele and TC Electronics Toneprint Bass Combo, none of which I use very often. Will part finance next splurge. :)

Also got to concentrate on upgrading the kids set ups now they are definitely hooked and more proficient. That will cost me..

If you bave bits of gear you're looking to offload PM me, I'm always in the market for pedals especially.

Will do, but I am a bit of a pedal head myself, so tend to horde them. ;)

Fair enough! If you are interested i've got to play some really interesting rare guitars lately, namely a Gretsch all hollow country gentlemen from the 1960's that was worth so much money I barely wanted to touch it!

Where did you do that? Admittedly, I don't have a great memory these days, but I think the only Gretsch I've tried I didn't get on with the neck. Beautiful looking guitars though.
