Nice axe! I've been dreaming of an SG Special since the time when the only source of information on vintage guitars was shitty crude web sites with crappy photos and pages from old Gibson catalogues.

They are rather cheap on Aliexpress and they are made of a much thicker material than your regular steel ruler. Also, in my experience steel rulers from hardware stores aren't often straight. Doesn't mean though that the Aliexpress thing is straight either, might be a piece of junk or might be a bar...

Nice, we'll wait! Because of how long the typical delivery from Aliexpress takes I sometimes forget I ordered something and don't feel excited about the thing, but I hope the pickups will live up to the expectation. Pickup makers on Aliexpress seem to have significantly improved their game. Their pr...

I don't know in which dumb comedy of the 2000s this song was and who actually played in it, but I can't stop picturing Will Ferrel prancing earnestly and happily to this song

That is so hot

Vintage Guilds are still relativelyy underappreciated. After WW2 Epiphone and Gibson were the two top shelf jazz guitar manufacturers with Epiphone being generally favoured more by pro jazz guitarists. The craftsmanship was thought to be superior to Gibson's and the guitars to be more prestigious. F...

Looks fantastic!

Guilds are rad, the yellow one does look like a candy

Haha, YES! Or like it's made out of hard candy or something.

I meant the Westcreek to be Sonic Blue

How does it feel? Is it heavy or light? What is the neck like and how does it sound?

Looks nice, although nothing really gets close to that Jagstang Daphne Blue. All Squiers and other cheap guitars are either significantly darker or much lighter. This one is probably closer to Sonic Blue.

Ah fuck. We'll wait

Did you get it, Rob?

Do an unboxing

JMJM is such a classy looking JM and has been for many years now. Congrats!

If Amazon got hold of the manufacturer who makes guitars for Thomann, this guitar might be as good as any Squier or Epiphone which is three times more expensive

Beautiful guitar, Rob. I love it

Both the Strat and the Mustang look really nice.
