Re: 12 string guitars

Nickswitz & Mike, I think the point here is that some of the guitars mentioned in this thread were DESIGNED to be 6 string instruments. When a 12 string version comes out there are always going to have to be compromises, whether that is short instrument life and frequent repairs, using lighter g...

Guitar of the Month - John Bailey Double Neck

Great piece in G's news update about this guitar. Em and myself found a copy of Jan 1976 Guitarist magazine in Bridport a couple of years ago which had an ad for the JB double neck, placed by Ralph Denyer of Guitar Handbook fame, for £250 (around £1,800 in today's money!). Obviously we gave this to ...

Re: My birthday coming up!

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 :D

Re: Visitation - Fear of the Dark

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.

Stanley Drew RIP

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...

Re: GOOD BUDGET GUITARS - sub £100 - let's not overlook them

Oldbones, The 801 Live album was released in 1976, with Listen Now following in 1977. There was a tour to promote Listen Now with an 801 mark II band. I saw them play at Birmingham Town Hall and Phil Manzanera was superb, his only guitar being a late 50s Les Paul goldtop loaned to him by Lol Creme. ...

Oldbones,

Nice to find another Manzanera fan on the forum. Are you referring to the 801 Live album with Simon Phillips and Brian Eno?
