I am currently saving up for this guitar.
What do you think azi
I've no idea how it sounds or feels to play on, but it looks awesome. I'm a huge fan of digicamo.
IIRC, you're in/around JHB, right? If so, R300 from a master luthier.
I've only spotted this thread now, so in summary:
I've been playing for 8 and a half years now - started in high school to alleviate depression and boredom, and it worked. I started on my dad's old classical, saved up and bought a cheap, crappy Washburn (Strat copy, was called Lyon) and then saved up to pitch in for a PRS Custom SE that my parents gave me for my 21st.
I mostly play rock, as I'm not fast enough for metal, and a little blues.Love the work of Zakk Wylde (shame on all of you for not mentioning him before), Mark Tremonti, Gary Moore, Jimi Hendrix, Adam Jones, Jimmy Page and Billy Howerdel.
Go past Andy McGibbon's as well, they're literally 1.5 km down the road from each other, and the guys at Andy's are incredibly knowledgeable - go pick their brains as well.
As for fixing, guitars are semi-alive to me, so it's always worth fixing back up. If you can afford it.
I started a year ago...got a Canglewood acoustic for Christmas, started playing, then got an ESP Viper 1000 electric. I can play For the Greater Good of God by Iron Maiden, lots of acoustic songs but I'm still early on in learning ><
Couscous; the food so nice they named it twice
