To make it an even "lower blow," it ships for free. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

You must be livid... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thats a tough call.

A rational person would say that you have too many knives AND guitars...

I'm not rational, though! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I suggest that you get both.

laid out my bowies on the bed. sure would look awesome with one more dog father.

I hear ya there... conflicting addictions...

worked somethin out. cgdf inbound. couple other blades outbound.

Haha! Bringing this thread back to the top! Why? Because I got my first guitar! It's a Seagull Entourage. Pretty decent guitar for a beginner (at least that's what everyone says). I had a little help from a couple of fellow forumites, whom I must say thank you to. I'm excited to have my own guitar now! I had messed around with other people's guitars a little in the past, but now that I have my own, I can really try to learn to play! I am first a drummer, but due to college apartment living had to get a different instrument to help maintain my sanity. Well, here's a picture of it:

Looks great!! I started out as a drummer as well - after a few years of playing, I decided it was time to switch, since my buddy was better than I was - and a two drummer band would be pretty lame without a guitar... so I decided to pick one up. Glad I did!

I snapped a quick picture of the neck joint on my Epi Elitist the other day while I was changing strings. It has the vintage correct "long neck tenon" joint - something that Gibson did away with in 1969 in order to save money. Terrible! Anyways, these are only found on Gibson's $3.5k+ Historic models - and on the Epiphone Elitists (as well as a number of other MIJ Les Pauls).

I wouldn't say that I am switching, but the guitar is much more conducive to apartment life than drums. I will probably remain a better drummer than guitar player, and I'm not in a band, so there really is no conflict of same instruments. I basically play my drums for fun whenever I go back home. I've got friends in bands, but occasional jams are enough for me. The problem away at school is that I don't know people down here to jam with. Oh well.

It's kind of funny, Diceman, because one of my good high school buddies is pretty much in the same boat as you. He started as a drummer, took up the bass for a little bit, but now plays the guitar and has spent quite a bit of money on guitars. Back in our high school days (about 7-8 years ago), he was the best drummer around. He loved Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham, and other very talented classic rock drummers. Once his younger brother started to play along with Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa, he passed up my buddy's drumming skill. That's about when he took up the guitar more seriously so they could start a band. Anyway, enough rambling...

nice guitar man. the seagulls are sweet. i don't just mean that as an expression, but it's the best i can characterize their tone.
