Hi G,

A friend who is on Facebook has told me about a new release. Can you give a few more details please and how we can buy it?

Love to you and Hil,

Hi Phil, Have a look at: https://www.quora.com/Brand-new-rosewood-fret-board-is-a-mix-of-light-and-dark-color-Any-issues By the way I own a Vintage travel guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWoyjA_zaLc The rosewood fretboard had a few lighter parts, but for me this was never an issue.

Hi Tom

I was 60 this year (8 April) and Birthdays certainly come around quicker the older you get!

By the way many thanks for your kind wishes about Dad - we both really appreciated them.

Roger

Hi Diffidus,

Visitation is a great track, with or without the drums of Simon Phillips. Electric guitar solos don't come much better than Gordon's on this track.

Congratulations and well done Tom!

It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce that my Dad aka Stan passed away in Warwick Hospital last month. What seemed like a straightforward problem quickly became more serious and there was little that could be done for him. As my Uncle Ron said, "Stan was a man who rose above the hand...

Oldbones,

Oldbones, I have a Harrier Mistral, which cost £39.99 from ebay. It's a Tele copy. Although this guitar isn't perfect by any means, what it has done has made me appreciate the Tele as a guitar - very simple design, comfortable to play and some great tones too! I have fitted a Trev Wilkinson bridge a...

Just to let you all know that I bought a Microcube GX quite recently, s/h, but in as new condition for £75. This and the fact that it runs on batteries swayed me towards the Roland in the end. Very impressed so far, but still a lot to explore.

Thanks to all for the advice,

Roger
