@Bridger crikey starting from £17,999! Wonder how many they made

[Bridger]

@AdamJ said in Guitars anyone???:

Wonder how many they made

100 of the budget, 50 of the posh version.

[JunkPants]

@Bridger Wild prices. Cool guitar though. Apparently they could (should?) have charged even more.

[Bridger]

100% @JunkPants

I suspect those in the know have purchased it as an investment. Likely see a few listed online soon at much higher prices. And Keith is still alive (mind I don't think he will ever die).

@Freeman Mate, that neck is stunning. I think they've accidentally put too many strings on it, though...

[goosehd]

@Freeman That neck is gorgeous!! The entire guitar is and I hope it sound’s at least half as good. Well done

[Freeman]

@SamD I think you might be right ahahaha.

[Freeman]

@goosehd thanks man! It's exceeded my expectations

[goosehd]

@Freeman Are you going to run that through your standard rig or do you have something planned for that as well?

[Freeman]

@goosehd the plan was to be my live guitar. No messing about. no tuning. But it's way nicer than I expected ahaha

[Jett129]

@Freeman I’m a drummer and to me that’s total Guitar Porn. All the bands I had ever been in were inhabited by Guitar Nerds. So I’ve heard a lot of guitar talk,and seen a lot of guitars.

[Bridger]

That's one fine looking axe, @Freeman!

I could see Buddy Guy whaling on that

[SamD]

New guitar day! I’m off work with the kids this week – told them we were going to a magical wonderland filled with really cool toys It wasn’t a total lie…

I’ve been thinking about converting a Gretsch Jim Dandy into a rubber bridge guitar for quite a while, but never got around to it. Then I recently noticed that Andertons were finally importing the Orangewood Junipers into the UK and couldn’t resist.

Paying over the odds for a guitar that is purposely made to sound worse than it should do. Sign me up!

[Vik]

@SamD safe to say you had a great day picking up a shiny matte new toy! Next time you head to the magical wonderland, please take @Freeman (so I don't have to)

[SamD]

@Vik Guitar geek road trip! Or maybe a cheeky detour on the way up to the London office

[Vik]

@SamD That does sound like a fun day out actually, I would like back in please
