  1. Hi all,

     

    Hope you are all well..

     

    Anyway spent a few hrs this morning recording a cover of a Starsailor song I previously recorded. (Also posted in the lounge)

     

    This time there is Violin, Cello, and Piano...

     

    The guitar and vocals are by me..recorded using a Neumann Microphone..

     

    The recording production is by a good friend.

     

    Recorded using Pro Logic with Vienna Strings..

     

    Sounds best on decent head phones or speakers...

     

    Please leave a comment on my Soundcloud Page..

  2. OK here is a closeup for everybody....you can easily see the point where the fret meets the binding, not at the edge of the playing surface but a couple mills in. E-strings catch at that point, and they wouldn'[t on a tradionally fretted instrument. thats just how it is.

     

    I'm no craftsman!! In fact I wouldn't even hang a picture!! But even I can tell that looks way off!!

     

    Regards..

     

    Btw I though post count only mattered for access to posting in the lounge!!

  3. Hey Flight.... Very nice indeed!! What did you do in the interior?

     

    The lid opens and is supported by 2 hinges.. The interior has been lined with green felt and has dividers which can be moved. I have a Gibson for each shelf and hey if I ever get another, she can fit in the top.

     

    I will post pictures with guitars on the shelves when I get it home... Dont know how im going to do that it's bloody massive..

     

    Regards

  5. Dave,

    BTW...My Gibson Cabinet is coming home soon... It was completed a while ago...just waiting to finish the renovation in my house before I can make room for it..

     

    Regards

    Thanks Guys..

  6. I read all the time both here and MLP about how people buy a Gibson guitar as an investment. I would have thought that the days of investment in guitars have gone. Isnt Gibson producing more guitars over a period of months what used to take a year? I have been very fortunate to get my two custom shop Gibson's at a very reasonable price but I would be silly to think they would be worth more in ten years time. I am of the opinion that if the guitar has been looked after and she's a player then the day you come to sell her, she will have achieved nothing more than to have held her value...

     

    What do you guys think?

     

    Regards

  7. Hi everyone.

    I´ve got the same studio as Flight959' date=' Are the pickups the same as all other studios or are they Burstbucker Pros.

    The Burstbucker Pros is what i´ve heard but im not sure :o[/quote']

     

    The Vintage mahogany (More of a brown colour)has the BB's, the worn cherry has the 490 and the 498... Both very respectable pickups, however I wanted one with BB's as I already have a Gibson with the 490 and 498....

  8. Great guitars guys.=D> This is my first post and id like to say i should be joining the club in a week or two finally got the funds saved. Just waiting to see if my local store is getting in the new swamp ash model cause id like to see one in person.

     

    Good luck.... You wont regret it...
