flatbaroque Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Just got back from a two week road trip round the south island of New Zealand.Stunning part of the world.So there's been no guitar playing or forum reading for a while. The only music shop I saw was in the little former gold mining town of Hokitika.The shop was shut but i could see two Lag guitars and five brightly painted ukes. Gibsons are a dream of the gold rush days. Checked into the forum and it's Hummingbird Central...ooh...wouldn't mind one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickthemiller Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm sure every member who has been away from their guitar(s) and WiFi for over a week feels your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't help it if they're short and have large, hairy feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I haven't seen LOTR's but I believe I travelled though some of that area. As for the Rugby.I am kind of glad I won't be there for the final.If Australia manages to jag a win against the All Blacks - I may not have got out alive.They are a very welcoming people but obsessed with Rugby and their national team. Good on you EA for putting BBG in his place....3 times Sorry to our North American forumites for the obscure Rugby talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Sounds like it was worth it to me! I don't mind rugby talk. I prefer it to basketball, baseball, American football and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmas Party claim could work. It is a Hummingbird, worth it, isn't it? One thing for sure, if I had room and if I bought it, I know real, real, real sure that I will never, ever,ever, ever,ever, did I say never ever... get a guitar delivered FROM the Blue Mountains. Boy oh Boy, the L-0 came from there and it took about a month and 5 taxi couriers. He sure did lie about the condition of the guitar too! Might be the same nit? So BK's weekend could go very differently than planned - "Back in a mo, Love!" Take the Hummingbird copy and of course the disguise (case) and run the copy over near Lithgow......... Nah?
