After several weeks of "researching" guitars under £500, I finally ordered another Vintage (JHS) instrument from GAK in Brighton. It's a V880AQ from the Vintage heritage or historic series, I forget which. Parlour size, neck joint at the 12th fret, spruce top, mahogany laminate body. It just hit the spot if you know what I mean and good value at 33% off list. I like the dark understated finish. It will arrive tomorrow.
Interestingly the economical Vintage statesboro I bought for seventy quid in November is sounding better, it's was good ( For seventy quid) to start with, it sounds louder now and more receptive to my efforts. Is this the instrument "running in" for want of a better or am I, as a novice guitarist getting more confident and less timid with my efforts.
Guitar Guru Ged introduced me to open G tuning, how to play 12 bar blues with the neck slide thingy, woo what fun. I'm pretty average at the moment, but I've found I love being able to make slidey blues music....it can only get better with practice.
