Tom 13847 Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 So….it’s absolutely magnificent The playability & sound is excellent as is the quality of build. Daylight robbery for the price, don’t think I’ve ever seen a cleaner fretboard. Really looking forward to giving it a proper run out with the band. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1236 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Looks absolutely class @Tom . I've been a bit smitten with semi-hollows for the last few years after being totally indifferent to them for most of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been through a few tbh, the best before this was an Epi 339 which played very nicely & sounded great. They’re very very different feeling & the extra tonal qualities are really worth it. The build/parts quality on this thing is pretty mad for the price, I’d have been impressed at twice the price so im happy to be a benefactor of Guitar Guitars latest marketing stunt or whatever. It’s not a vanity purchase either, its bought to do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ I misread that band name as Screwdriver on first glance and nearly choked on my Guinness. For a split second I was genuinely concerned you had me down as someone who might have a soft spot for nazi punk. That would be the last fucking thing I needed after the year we've had. False alarm. 7 o'clock and all is well. Anyway, nah not familiar with yer man Dunsy there but he seems sound. From that video I can't help but get the impression he might have a lot of Cardiacs albums hidden away beside his pornography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1236 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Cardiacs reference isn't a slight fwiw. I have no evidence of this but I'd heavily wager that Tim Smith and Swervedriver most definitely got mentions on their respective late 90's albums.

No realise that, you've mentioned them before, I've not heard much but they remind me of early Split Enz. I imagine Tim Smith enjoyed the irony that the founder of the Cardiacs died from a cardiac arrest. As @PaddockLad will tell you, I'm a huge Swervedriver (not Screwdriver [nazi punks fuck off]) fan. I'd be interested to know what band Dunsy was in back in the day? And dumb question, does anyone have any pornography to actually hide away any more? Isn't it just all free on the tinterweb thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his discogs page he was in Joyriders, Dead Eyes Opened and Chickweed. > I've not heard much but they remind me of early Split Enz. Yeah thats probably fair but there's so much more there. The end career album Sing to God (when they had scaled back to a four piece) is widely regarded as their masterpiece but for my money the live performance of All that Glitters is a Mares Nest is peak Cardiacs, in their full tongue in cheek Circus act glory. They hooked up with Napalm Death to book Salisbury Cathedral forntue day for each bands respective live videos some time in the really early 90's. What a day that would've been. As for the hidden porn, I only keep some as a false wall to hide my Cardiacs collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1236 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Belated Happy New Guitar Day. Looks nice. Like Tom I'm curious how it plays. Fanned fretboards freak me the fuck out but I'm not sure I've ever actually played one or bothered to read about the design much. Is it essentially fender scale on the bottom and Gibson scale on the top? I know I easily find and answer to this on Google but I'm a busy man with lots of important things to do (like drinking and being lazy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 25.5 to 25 on the 6 strings, so Fender to PRS, very subtle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be light as a feather @Andrew Good but quite weird, there are a few things that will take a little getting used to. Obviously the neck shape is the main thing, my thumb doesn't hit that back plane quite naturally yet. The body shape sits really nicely in a comfortable playing position compared to anything else I have, my janky left shoulder is enjoying it a lot so far for that! I just weighed it out of curiosity and it is 2.4Kgs, which is absurdly light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being needlessly pedantic here but surely in Andrews case it's the right shoulder that has been taking all the damage, given he's a died in the wool southpaw rather than the more common fairweather leftie like ourselves.
