    ***The Official Guitar Thread***

    Some of the Neural stuff is incredible, the Nolly archetype is a personal fave of mine, I have the diesel vh4 which is ok but the soldano blows that out the water. I recently invested in a kemper stage so I've started using that instead now but to have those to fall back on is great if I can't...

    The Best Albums of 2021

    For me, album of the year has to go to angels and airwaves - lifeforms , Tom delonge has definitely wrote some of his best work on this album, he's a nutter but very talented.

Maybe one day just for a laugh when the midlife crisis hits Personally, I can't touch it, bad experience back in the day, now the smell of it gets me heaving, although after...

    Looking for a special bottle for partners 30th birthday

    Thanks man, master of malt seemed like the best earlier, might contact them to see if they have any up to date bottles, most say 28/29 and 1991 , would be nice to get the 30 and the right year if possible. And you're absolutely right... I thought £50 was pricey before I started looking

    Kitchen Companies

    Hi all, Looking at getting a new kitchen around spring time but seem to be overwhelmed with information and comments from friends/work mates and of course internet sources. I was just wondering what the general experience on here is on the various major companies. I've been heavily advised...

    What are you listening to, GD?

    Randomly discovered these a few years back and you've just reminded me of them! I was a big alter bridge fan and these were suggested back in the day, leviathan is a personal fave!

    Tax advice - UK and Jersey

    Hi all, My partner is looking for some advice but there is nothing that we can find on gov websites. Her family moved over to Jersey a few years ago which has a number of ridiculous rules for people working and living over there. We met a few years back and she now spends half the year over...

    Location location location.. (England) Advice Welcomed

    I've lived in a fair few places in the uk, now in my early thirties and bought a house in Lincoln 4 years ago, enjoying life currently, it's a quiet part of the country and like you said, pretty laid back. Good access to the a46 and A1 which is handy for traveling and the house prices are...

    Re-mortgage, move, extend, investment... What to do

    Hi all, I'm in some unknown territory at the moment and was just after some opinions and advice as I'm stuck with ideas and don't really pay too much attention to the news or housing market generally so my limited knowledge is only from recent things I have read. I've recently come into a...

    Jesus, that's ridiculous. Who in their right mind would pay that! £16k could get you a whole lot of guitar...

    Guitar builders/luthiers

    Probably not to be honest, they're quite pricey and bring along their own brand of awkwardness setting them up and changing strings etc. I quite like gotohs, never had any issue with them, Ive never had a Wilkinson or a hipshot buy I've heard excellent things about hipshots, so I'd be keen to...

    Guitar builders/luthiers

    Ah nice that sounds awesome, makes all the difference with a few tweaks here and there doesn't it. I quite like the Chapman guitars mantra of, 'heres a basic model, it's really easy to change stuff so here you go' Encourages people to tinker and see what happens. Some of the new squirts, the...

    Guitar builders/luthiers

    I would probably keep that as it is, it's worth more sentimentally than it would be as an instrument you could get any real mileage out of. I'm pretty sure they're alder body's so not the worst things to be built from!

    Guitar builders/luthiers

    There were a few YouTube videos where they tried to do a scientific test of different woods and it was interesting to watch and hear as they plugged the guitars in and did blind tests too, most of differences are so subtle you wouldn't know the difference, but the poplar stood out to me compared...

    Thanks so much man, guitar build.co.uk is around the corner from me, I was looking at doing something through them a while back, I might see if I could get a custom body. I didn't know about the guitar anatomy site that's a great shout!
