Irish_Rover Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 My new ES 339 Pro arrived from Thomann about 2 hours ago. It's my first electric guitar and I've got to say that so far it's been a blast. It will need a little bit of tweaking but nothing major. Sadly my budget wouldn't stretch to an amp at the moment so I can only play clean through my Laney acoustic amp, still a lot of fun though and surprisingly (to me at least) a lot of tones to be had just by playing with the tone and volume knobs. I'll try and get some pics up over the weekend but for now I just want to eat something and then get back to playing the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish_Rover Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Boy, not easy this photographing guitars game is it? It's a pretty dull day and turning the lights on just creates even more reflections, I've tried with both the iPhone and iPad and neither have really done the guitar justice, still you get the idea and I'd rather be playing it than messing around taking pictures of it . I think I'll take it for a set-up next week, there's a tiny bit of fret buzz and the intonation on the low E and G strings are a couple of cents off. I could probably do it myself but as it's my first electric I figure it's best to get it done professionally the first time and then I'll have a decent reference point for the future.

Yeah I've been around the world a couple of times, more or less settled here now, not done much roving in the last few years. Well, it makes a change from playing acoustic every day and gives me a whole lot of new things to learn. All that extra fretboard real estate, unwound G string and pickups and controls to think about. Having a blast so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
