WHAT DO YOU WANT???? (1 Viewer)

Good to know.

I spotted this on Adverts and thought it might be just what you're after in the cheap Strat department.

Yamaha RGX 121FP - €110

Hmm definitely interesting but too ugly. Great deal with he case and all though.

I'm a single coil guitar man I think though. A humbucker needs to be splittable..or on a faded sg, otherwise nah

Aye. There's one on there at the minute but I'm not sure if it's sold, but don't trust the headstock on it either.

i learned on my auld lad's Eko aswell. think i wrecked it in my early teens after it was given to me when himself replaced it with something a bit nicer

Think he brought his home from Australia. So it made it from Italy, to some godforsaken Northern Irish in Australia gaff, back to Ireland, and didnt get any damage until we arrived.

Don't imagine the fret board saw a drop of lemon oil in 60 years either.

But I had it set up and a few frets replaced a couple of years ago and it is lovely. A beast.

Same as this.
EKO Ranger 12-String Vintage Acoustic Guitar Made in Italy with Chip Case | Mad Music | Reverb

£600 is hopeful. There should be loads of them knocking about, they are built like tanks.

uncle has one of these from early 60s I think - at one point the lacquer got chipped sending a few crack along the top. the layer of lacquer alone must have been about 2mm think.
utter and absolute tanks of guitars - lovely sounding too

I've an Eko Ranger XII also. Found it in a bush when I was in primary school. Great guitar.

Been surprisingly impressed by the grindstein pedal. Not a hugh fan on the "everything at ten" Hm2 tone, but this sounds good. Highgain peramp, boost and Hm2 in one pedal.

have raised some cash from selling stuff so pondering buying something new - my head has been turned by these two as project/upgrade pieces:

Stagg Silveray Nash Shading Sunburst - €339 - Muziker

Stagg Silveray Nash Shading Sunburst, Electric guitar, SVY-NASHDLX-FSB, Electric guitar from Silveray series that features a uniquely shaped body made of

or

https://www.thomann.de/ie/harley_benton_sc_special_tv_yellow.htm

pros and cons for both - matt finish, lack of position markers and lack of review for the stagg would be a negative (it is reduced from >300 elsewhere). But 3x p90s and a 5 way switch slot gives lots of scope for fucking about with a soldering iron and a bag of parts. I'm not sure if the body shape is quirky in a mid 60s way, or ugly in a mid 80s way.

The HB is basically a good quality take on a classic,

help me thumped.
(in the end I'll buy a wrecked guitar off adverts and spend the next 6 years tinkering with it)

Neither. That HB is the same as the one I had for one day before sending it back.

getting my 12 string Eko new truss rod / action adjusted after having the neck fully replaced a few years ago.

I've decided the lack of fret position markers is a deal breaker. I'm far to much of a hack not to need to look down and see where I am.
the HB still in the running - I'm not afraid of swapping bits out and general tinkering if the basics are ok.
my gaze has strayed to this now...
