It's all going on house renovation at the moment
Next year will be the big guitar year. Gonna splurge on something really spesh.
I've actually recently discovered how brilliant Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are. Not new, I know, but new to me.

You should just get a little guitar and hold it further away.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:14, Reply)

no the guitar is very close, maybe he's much further back and it's a camera trick

Which shop sells long arms?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:19, Reply)

Guns N Ammo

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:22, Reply)

guitars cost £5k?
no wonder rock stars are so rich
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:13, Reply)

Well I'm budgeting myself up to that
Hence 'big guitar year'. Certainly couldn't do it every year. Would, but can't.

What are you buying then?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:15, Reply)

*also interested*

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:17, Reply)

Not sure yet
The list is massive. I'm going to go shopping later on this year and start making a decision. I'm leaning towards a Les Paul custom of some description, but therein lies the game.
I'm hearing good things about Suhr, so I ought to try some of their stuff. PRS too.

If anyone can recommend anything I should try, I'm all ears

paperjamz

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:19, Reply)

Tried that
Don't like the action
( Two Hats I saw someone eating M&M's with a spoon, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:20, Reply)

PRS make lovely guitars
What sort of moneys are you actually planning to send?

EDIT
Or spend even?
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:20, Reply)

I want to set myself an upper limit of 5k
But that could go on one awesome thing, or a couple of nice things. I'm looking forward to trying everything to be honest.
There's a shop in Bath that does some lovely vintage stuff, so I'll certainly visit them again.

Man, I wish I had £5k to spend on a guitar

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:24, Reply)

It's taken me YEARS to a) get the money and b) convince the missus to let me spend it
And it'll be the last time in a really long time I imagine, so I need to choose carefully.

What makes a guitar worth £5k?
Genuinly...is it materials, heritage er...something else
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:26, Reply)

gold strings
coils made of cherub hair, and a body made of giant redwood

I hope they wittle down an entire tree to make one guitar
I heard it gives better resonanace
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:31, Reply)

I like a vintage guitar personally
I prefer the Gibson hollow bodies to a heavy old Les Paul.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:29, Reply)

erm sorry but having a small guitar and holding it further away would make it seem even smaller

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:13, Reply)

Don't be ridiculous.

PERSPECTIVE
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:16, Reply)

If it was made out of see-through plastic, we'd not be able to see it at all, silly

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:17, Reply)

yes you would, plastic isn't invisible

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:18, Reply)

see-through

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:21, Reply)

still not invisible
am i the only non-windowlicker here?
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:22, Reply)

If yoiu lick a window the saliva stops it being invisible

FACTS

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:24, Reply)

windows aren't invisible either
unless they've been polished up big style
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:26, Reply)

How do you see out then?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 22 May 2012, 15:27, Reply)

with an almost perfectly clear line of vision
but there is almost always some reflection or mark which reminds you that there is a window there

Glass is see through because the molecules are all higgle-de-piggledy
rather than being in a repeating pattern, this is why "liquid metal" can be both metallic and see through because the molecules aren't aligned.
