It usually takes me a few weeks to get fully accustomed to a new guitar. This one has a fatter neck and different fret profile than I'm used to.

However, it is a beautifully made instrument. All the little bits of attention to detail, like the fret ends are very well done. It feels and sounds amazing.

The bridge was set up to float when it arrived which would usually mean tuning problems, but not with this one.

Anyone fancy a punt on this? Up for auction next month is Les Paul's original Black Beauty prototype. Will probably fetch a few quid.

All my guiutars have had to go due to lack of storage space and no time to play. Loving the pics on here though.

That's not good. Couldn't you have kept one?

Need a goalkeeper ( trust me it's green ).

I agree.

Here's my main guitar Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded:

And my back-up guitar Epiphone Les Paul 56 goldtop:

Nice LPs, nice toanz (maaan), nice music room :afro::p

That's the ticket. Is it ash?

To be brutally honest , I don't know. It's an FSR that I saw for £400 off and couldn't resist it.

I am currently trying to persuade my missus that all I need now is an ebony Gibson Les Paul Custom and my guitar buying days are over (...apart from the 335 etc ).

Don't play as much as I like but feeling the love for Mr Iommi today.

This is my first guitar. Bought for £35 in 1972.

Upgraded with Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickups, modern grovers and bridge.

This was my second guitar. Bought whilst drunk from Idaho via Ebay. Don't surf and drink.

It is a Fender Strat MIJ.

This was the fourth guitar bought new from some shop near Guildford.

The fifth guitar came from the USA via Ebay. Alas the guy smoked so the case and guitar stank but it was in excellent condition.

This is a less common guitar made by Gibson to counter the Fender Strat.

Someone went to a lot of trouble to create this Zakk Wylde Standard, as I have never seen another apart from the original. Obviously like all Zakk Wylde guitars it has the EMG pickups and a maple neck.
