I find your lack* of a back account very interesting
personally I have never had problems with the bank, so am happy to continue using one.

I find it very odd how upset people seemed to get in the link you posted about not having an account.

You seem to do very well for yourself and see no evidence of you trying to screw anyone in the process!

Most importantly, what guitar do you have?

*lack isn't the right word as to me that implies that you are missing it

Took your time to get to the important question.

Now I've read the link, I see why you asked.
Usual cash discount is 2.5%, so obviously there was other discounting taking place.
Mind, a £2300 ticket to start is a fair amount for a plank of wood.

Sorry.
And some string.

Ha

Ha
Jackson Sr1.

Although, I have since added to that collection. I now have the Les Paul I should have bought at the time, a Jem and a Music Man, plus a couple of cheap(ish) basses.

Sadly, I seem to spend more money on vintage keys now instead of guitars.

PS. I too was suprised at the anger directed over not having a bank account.

I'm not familiar with the jackson
not a fan of les pauls either really :-)

music man and the jem are good items though ;-)

You know you are a little out of step, not liking LPs.
Meh, chacun a son guitar.

Those
are my two favourites of them all to be honest.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the Jackson is a class above all the others - it just seems to play itself, the only thing I would change about it is the Floyd Rose unit - too fiddly and troublesome.

I
forgot to mention the ill advised Christmas present to myself the year before last.

A stinking Sitar. I thought, "How hard can it be? It's got strings..."

You'd have thought I would have learned that lesson after buying an electric violin the year before.

A sitar is all well and good
until you need to restring or tune it in my experience

I agree with the floyd rose comment too. my ibanez has one and it is a royal pain in the arse.

Sitar
You're not wrong there!

I can just about make it sound musical if enough beer has been had by my 'audience'.

...and Floyd Rose - all very clever until you need to change a string in the middle of a song.

I don't restring this one myself any more, I give it to the local music shop with 35 quid and it comes back like brand new every time.

So you're more of a collector than a player?

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Wed 12 May 2010, 20:23, Reply)

No
I am most certainly a player, just as I've gotten older I've realised that the right tool for the job helps.
I don't really play in a band any more - more recording at home these days, hence the keys and basses.
