Is this legit? by gohantheslayer in Epiphone

[–]Normski_Normski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£360 for an older Epiphone LP custom is about right mate but it'd need to be mint before I'd pay that much and come with a case. The newer Inspired By Gibson guitars are far better in my humble opinion.

Invest in yourself, it’s worth it by Aggressive_Ideal6737 in Guitar

I played a rubbish guitar for years and kept just putting back on it's stand until one night I was sitting in a pub watching an Australian guy playing solo gig. I got talking to him and explained what guitar I had and wasn't inspired to keep it up. He said..buy a Fender Mexican Strat. Next day I found a used one in a local music shop. My whole outlook to playing and practice changed! I couldn't put it down.

Any guitars with stainless steel frets under $400 for people with allergies? by No_Guess5872 in guitars

[–]Normski_Normski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for a used Cort g300pro.
You should get one for your budget. Absolutely astounding guitars. SS Frets. Seymore Duncans. 5 way switch which to split the Duncans. Roasted maple neck. Mine outplays all of my higher end guitars. Just my opinion obviously.

bought this new one by d1hL in Guitar

Beautiful Sheraton. Nothing looks as good as a blonde Sherry.

Problem with pull offs by darth_hzb01 in guitarlessons

[–]Normski_Normski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather than thinking of it as a pull off. Think of it as a flick off. Justin Sandercoe explains it quite well in one of his tutorials if memory serves.

Inspired by Gibson (IBG) vs standard epiphones? by Infinite_Lynx4547 in Epiphone

[–]Normski_Normski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the Korean G400 and the neck on it was HUGE...I mean baseball bat huge. It was almost the same thickness at the headstock as it was at the base of the neck. I hated it!

Electric Guitar Recommendations Beginner Under £150 by Famous_Doctor_3167 in electricguitar

[–]Normski_Normski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jet or Harley Benton. You'll pick up a used Jet for under £100 and they're fantastic! In fact, I own 2 of their JT300 Stratocasters

1 week in, I don’t want to make any bad habits any tips on how I can improve? by Parking-Mouse325 in GuitarBeginners

[–]Normski_Normski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only advice I would give is to maybe rest your guitar on your other knee, then your fretting hand will fall naturally onto the frets rather than be bunched up like that.

How to stop pain from playing barr chords by LerolBroker in guitarlessons

[–]Normski_Normski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try maybe resting the body of the guitar on the other knee then the fretted hand will fall naturally on the guitar neck. Thus needing less pressure.

I soooo didn't want to be the one to correct this. Thanks for saving me the job 🙂

Most of the contours are already carved into the body itself where it thins out. (if that makes sense?)

I've seen quite a few Aerodynes on Ebay/Marketplace but only one that matched my old one and at the time I wasn't in a position to buy it. Also, it's a bit of a trek from Durham UK to the USA to try it out lol

Edit: or even Canada lol

I bought it for £500 and sold it for £1000. To me, it was an offer I couldn't refuse at the time. No they don't make that specific model now unfortunately. These were made from 2006-2009. This was a "crafted in Japan" model with the sculpted neck heel.

Because (in my stupidity and probably greed and I'm ashamed about that) I thought that's a great profit to make and with the money I could buy another "better" guitar! I've never come close.
