gotta say the thing looks brilliant though

makes it easier to accept that i spent twice as much as I intended too

(the original idea was to buy this one)

LucyK! · 14 Feb 2011, 20:54

Stunning purchase RJ, good for you!!!

Im terrible for doing things like that, if I have the money and there's something I want (HCTB Tour being a prime example lol ) then I'll go for it - sod all point in saving up and never doing anything with it, when my time comes I wanna know I did everything I possibly could have done

That's my excuse anyway!!

Will look good on the wall RJ

Thanks god you didn't go with your first choice of a drum kit.
I hear they can be a right ~~~~~~ to mount on a wall

What do I look like, stupid?

There wasn't a power point on that wall to plug in the electric keyboard so it had to be a piano.

It was a shitload of money, but the wall looks ~~~~ing amazing now

You like to decorate your walls with nice things, don't yo? You probably put them next to your copy of the holy grail.

You should play it and batter it a bit and it will look like Bruce's Telecaster.

I assume it was about 300 to 400 €? Probably would have cost at least twice as much if it had "Fender" printed on the headstock instead of "Squier".

Pretty small pic. Jugding by the headstock, it's not a Fender. Japanese Strat copy? How much is that one and does it have a switch to make the humbucker sound like a single coil?

duke knooby · 14 Feb 2011, 21:32

quite a few have been struck down by the stomach bug this past week in work...

i dont want it

Evil One · 14 Feb 2011, 21:33

I find wallpaper to be a much cheaper wall covering.

"You should play it and batter it a bit and it will look like Bruce's Telecaster.

"

funnily that was the first idea I had when I discovered it at the store lol
I instantly fell in love with it! here's a little more info:
http://www.musicstore.de/de_DE/EUR/F...GIT0000003-004

I hate myself for spending that much money, but I'm as happy as a little boy coming out of a candy store lol

"I assume it was about 300 to 400 €? Probably would have cost at least twice as much if it had "Fender" printed on the headstock instead of "Squier"."

actually it was just 170€ (retail price 240)

"Pretty small pic. Jugding by the headstock, it's not a Fender. Japanese Strat copy?"

It's one of those asian one's that every company sells under a different name. Jack & Danny's, Harley Benton, etc
http://www.musicstore.de/de_DE/EUR/G...GIT0014734-000

"and does it have a switch to make the humbucker sound like a single coil?"

no idea what you just said lol
the only feature I did test was the switch to mix the three pick ups.

The black one is a Fender CD60 btw, probably the cheapest acoustic one that sounds and also looks quite good!

**RadioMaster** · 14 Feb 2011, 21:46

and just for the record, the second wall is gonna feature this art-print:

*AndyK* · 14 Feb 2011, 21:46

Nice choice RJ, very similar to my tele

I pass by a guitar store almost every day that has an old Pearl Les Paul for sale (about 300 €) and I just can't decide whether to buy it or not. Every time I stop at that shop and ask myself whether I should go in and just get the damn thing, LOL.

It looks like this (the one without a pickguard): http://www.gibson.com/Files/aaFeatur...GT-2%20pic.jpg

79 €? Okay, if I just wanted to hang it on the wall I'd probably buy it but I'd never spend that little money on a new guitar I'm actually going to play. I doubt that you can make a good electric guitar and sell it for such a low price. I recently bought a cheap Strat copy (about 150 €) and it required some work and new parts to sound half-way decent. Best Asian Strat copy I ever bought was a Cheri (E Series), I purchased it for about 100 € along with a crappy old amp from a student. Excellent guitar, very good quality and sound. It was my first electric guitar and it's still my favorite one although it has suffered a little over the years. It now looks a bit like an old lady that used to be a beauty once.

I was talking about the pickups. The guitar in the pic has two single coils and a humbucker. Some models come along with a switch that enable you to change the humbucker to single coil mode.

Get a good amp and play your Tele, it's fun - especially when it drives the neighborhood mad.

gotta say to the untrained ear it sounded quite acceptable (the key word being quite). The thing is that it actually looks a lot cheaper in real life. The body and pickguard look more like plastic and all the switches also looked very cheap. I thought there wouldnt be much of a point hanging that one up on the wall.

The other reason I bought it was to switch from my acoustic one from time to time, to see how certain songs sounded on a tele.

Bought a rather cheap 'Fame' amp with it. Was testing the cheapest one they had (20€), but that one sounded more like a kitchen radio than actual audio equipment lol

Here's something I'd like to hang on my wall but considering the price that would be madness: http://www.musicstore.de/de_DE/EUR/F...GIT0005623-000

Cool!

I like how they look better without the pickguard.
