Introduction - Hi guys ! (and NDG)

RaymondLin

Hi guys, a fellow member from here just recommended me to this place so I thought i'd sign up.

I only began this hobby 5 months ago, my main passion is photography, and have (or had hopefully) serious GAS and threw away the rule book, went in both feet and got 2 Taylors and then 2 PRS...

JohnPerry

Have. It's never really had. And that's a decent effort for five months! Welcome aboard

I feel duty-bound to put you through the standard initiation ceremony....

Do you have an accurate weight for the Singlecut, please?

Now that's how you gas, good effort my man.

Some quality stuff there. 

The finish on that Singlecut is magnificent.

What's the finish on the custom 24? Black gold?

I saw your thread on the prs forum for the blue multi foil. I'm very jealous, excellent score and welcome to the forum.

Btw, I just nabbed your "fret" cherry.

It is Black Gold ! Well spotted Pickups are 59/09's in the Custom 24 with a 10-Top, 57/08 in the Stripped 58.

The Taylors are GS Mini Mohogany and the red one is a T5 Standard in Red Edgeburst.

Best starter kit ever?

Welcome on 'Board.

Thats a cracking start.

Not much room left for aspiration though.  It will be interesting to see where the journey (&GAS) takes you.

Nice pics too BTW

Mate, the thr gets rave reviews here!

Digital or solid state does not equal bad. sounds like a fab learning set up!

After playing for 10 years (already?!) I'm currently at a peavey bandit made about 12 years ago never been happier though, funnily enough.

Welcome aboard
