New Guitar

[aardvark]

I'm so happy, I could pee!

I had a choice - a couple of trackdays on the racebike before the start of the season, or a new guitar. Well, actually, it wasn't really a choice. It's our 10 year wedding anniversary in October. Sal knows what she wants, so I started thinking of things I could have. So, I decided it was time to get a new guitar. I didn't want to pay some ridiculous price for one, so went hunting around. I came across one at a price that was too good to refuse, so went and bought it today. Apparently, I have to wait until October before I can use it.

Anyway, I know there's a few players here, so I thought I'd share the news. Doesn't really matter if I'm the only one that gives a shit!

I got myself a Cole Clark FL1. According to the sales bloke, it'd been sitting in the back of the shop for ages, gathering dust, because no-one wants an acoustic guitar without pickups or a cutaway anymore. Fair enough I say, take a couple hundred off and I'll have it. Done deal. WOOHOO!! The thing sounds amazing and in my own crappy opinion, sounds equally as good as a Maton 325.

I'm as happy as a pig in shit (excuse the pun).

Yeah man I like those guitars, 2 of my students have them. The different bracing changes the response but I love the way it does. Big bass response, complex tones, look, feel and general "mojo" does it for me, it'll get louder and "more complex" as it ages too mate

Louder? I actually can't believe just how loud it is!

Mind you, I am coming from a Yamaha 310P, which has been a great guitar. But playing the CC has instantly made me sound like I've been practicing twice as much as I have been.

:kuda: top stuff aardy!!! id've been doing the track days but thats just cos i cant play guitar for shite

Hey, don't worry. I can't ride of play guitar! Doesn't stop me from looking like a jackass and trying tho.

What guitar was it Kimmeh?

[mohawk miss]

nice pick up aardy,

my dad could play, unfortunately it seems none of us kids got the "playing" gene (and me being a southpaw didn't help).

we still have his Maton lap steel at home, circa mid 1970's and still sounds good.

Great stuff with the new guitar i just looked at them on the interweb and they look really nice.

You wait a week and you will notice your playing will take a big jump.
Ive found that a new guitar or new bit of gear provides a bit of inspiration and my playing improves a little as a result.

I was hoping to spend my KRudd money on some new guitar gear but it seems the credit card is the priority apparently.
little does she realise that i paid the credit card and then went and ordered all new valves for the amp

good luck with the playing.

K Yairi, stage series, cutaway, pick ups and pearl inlays. I like it.
