A new toy arrives as changes are afoot.

[Diego Garcia]

Well, my band called it time last week after a few years together.

Both guitarists called it a day on the same night, stating that our last gig was then end of the line, so we went out on a bang.

However, they expected the bassist and the drummer to go to but the three of us have auditioned some new guys and found a red hot lead guy who fitted straight in, as such I am now on dual duties, singing and playing so I bought this baby yesterday, a black Flying V, one of my all time favourite machines.

Sure its an Gibson Epiphone, but had it set up, plays like a dream and is jet 'gothic' black with roman numerals on the rosewood fret board. Sounds great via a marshall stack. 'METAL'......

I think that this may be my 15th guitar purchase over the years.... Needs a good clean already.

The new sound is influenced by Randy Rhoads and Zak Wilde, circa Pride and Glory. Nice.

Happy days

Funny looking camera you got there mate...

 

[Steep]

You're right, it does need a clean

Oooh... nice! My boyfriend and I went out shopping today (supposedly Xmas shopping - yeah - right!!) and he came back with a new guitar. I'll post a pic later (when he actually puts it down)

Oh, forgot to say - good luck with the new band too

Nice V m8. I had a white V & a black & white checkerboard Explorer many (25+) years ago when I worked at Carlsboro Sound Centre.

And Randy was one of my heroes, I sold more guitars after learning Dee and Crazy Train than just about anything else (when a newbie guitarist came in the shop looking for a guitar, we'd take them in the booth, whack the Marshall up to 11 and play a well known intro/riff/solo by whichever band they had on their T-Shirt...marketing huh ?)

Ok, so no pics yet... but one of THESE babies is what he got - in 'whale blue'.

That's one sexy looking guitar. Strangely, I was listening to some Zac stuff in the car today. What's your band called? Do you have a "myspace" site?

 

[Matt]

good luck with it, and to you and minis other half...good buys!

 

[HIMUPNORTH]

More guitarists here than photographers


I am now imagining you in a skin tight suit with a deep plunging V front revealing a horribly hursuit chest. Do you nod a lot?

 

[RickMezza]

Nice looking guitar, congratulations.

Also say congrats to Dave pls Minimeeze...you're too nice to him you know

 

[The Big Kahuna]

Nice plank there, I have an "English PRS" (a Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro)

Incidentally, I just ordered tickets to see Steven Segal (yes, THAT Steven Segal) and his band play at Buxton Opera House in february. And before you say anything, he is a pretty good singer, a damn fine blues guitarist and his album "Mojo Priest", while not up there with the works of Stevie Ray Vaughan, is an excellent listen.

Now that's a pic that would be well worth seeing

Good to hear your band is continuing, despite them - Good luck
