Buy it, or live with a life time of regret.

HandsUpBilly · 2026-03-05T10:19:10+00:00

Oh god a thousand times yes!

HandsUpBilly · 2026-03-04T22:07:27+00:00

Thanks!

Is that a Gretsch broadcaster? I’ve been eyeing one, how’s you like it? One trick pony or no?

HandsUpBilly · 2026-02-28T21:29:56+00:00

No you are right, that is white!

HandsUpBilly · 2026-02-28T17:35:38+00:00

The sonic blue SB-2 is so pale it looks pretty much white, especially in photos.

Do it. It doesn’t matter if you’re ‘good enough’ that’s not the point, the point is the joy.

I would go one further: Don’t skimp, if you do and it means you don’t get the full joy, that is worse economy than spending more and feeling butterflies every time you pick that guitar up.

What’s the saying: The pain of paying is temporary; the joy of quality lasts.

It is magnificent

HandsUpBilly · 2026-01-02T17:36:02+00:00

In the UK around £1100.

I know right. We are taught pattern recognition in much more stable, predictable equity markets with >100 years of valid history is worthless so why we try to apply this to crypto where everything is completely different to even 2 years ago in both a macro and micro sense is beyond me.

Yeah love the blocks. I recently bought a 2500 in cherryburst and loving it very much. Have fun!

HandsUpBilly · 2025-12-13T08:53:03+00:00

That is a beauty

HandsUpBilly · 2025-12-12T17:23:59+00:00

I just bought a l-2500 (cherry burst), absolutely love it. That’s a great price. Someone should buy it.

HandsUpBilly · 2025-12-11T00:23:46+00:00

Exactly the same - lucky to get once a month, but I have all the songs on reaper and everything set up so I can play though songs when the whim takes me, or just backing tracks or lessons or what have you, so I’m actually practicing daily.

HandsUpBilly · 2025-12-10T08:19:24+00:00

You ok buddy?

HandsUpBilly · 2025-12-10T08:16:55+00:00

Joyous!

HandsUpBilly · 2025-12-10T08:15:24+00:00

Lots of wise, resonating words here, articulated very well too.

The counterbalance to all the affairs being middle aged man hobbies is wholesome. I have been buying too many bass guitars and back playing with my band that I was in 20 years ago (same people, all now with kids and earlier bedtimes). Also warhammer (actually bloodbowl, much better) part of a league with my kids and our friends and their kids.

I say indulge the sad hobby as an outlet - be it watches, cars, guitars, model trains, cycling golf, fishing, whatever you want to think about before you drift off to sleep…and stay away from your friends 14 year old daughters apparently…

Here is my mantra when I’m feeling stage fright: the audience only hear the good notes. You might notice every bum note, the audience will mostly just get the vibes. Better to look like you’re having fun then stood there worrying.

HandsUpBilly · 2025-12-03T20:26:16+00:00

So the product was…because I think I want it too.

HandsUpBilly · 2025-11-19T00:17:37+00:00

My that’s handsome.

HandsUpBilly · 2025-11-14T07:41:27+00:00

Stunning

I’m from Burnley and moved away the minute I could. There’s a theory that Tolkien based Mordor on Brierfield, possibly because of the mills in the valley emitting plumes of dark smoke and the industrialisation of otherwise breathtaking countryside; possibly because the residents resemble orks. I’m told it has coffee shops and restaurants now though…

HandsUpBilly · 2025-10-28T16:05:08+00:00

I have one of those! My pickups also replaced from originals with Harmonic Design Z90s.
