guitars to be banned

musicegbdf

Just seen a man was beaten to death in Belfast with his own guitar.
Knowing the kneejerk reactions of our politicians we may need to hid our guitars before they are banned as lethal weapons!

humbucker or SC?

It's alright, I'II buy a banjo, just as many notes per second and still fully legal. 

Although no doubt they'll close that loophole in the near future so all you are left with are Ukuleles.

Can we get a date of manufacture and accurate weight please?

Seriously though, that's quite a horrible thing to happen.

No doubt about it, once banjos get banned, all the gangsters will be running about with decommissioned seven strings and we'll have nothing to defend ourselves.

Was his playing really that bad?

I saw that on the news.  They also arrested a 12 year old and a 17 year old tonight relating to it.

was it a hamer?

Pointy guitars will be the first to go.

Alnico

I bet the news refers to them as 'Axes' just to make them sound more dangerous !

Several of my guitars can poke you in the eye without even trying:- 1. BC Rich Warlock, 2. Jackson Randy Rhoads V, 3. Washburn Dimebag Darrell Dean ML Copy, and 4. Gear 4 Music Flying V Copy.

Let's all be thankful that we have the Conservatives in power(sharing). Imagine if we had Labour back in, there would be wildly inaccurate "sexed up" reports being drafted up.  There would also be some illegal war where we end up invading some innocent country on the saying of Tony Blair that they have Guitar Factories of Mass Corruption, or some cobblers.

I'm hoping this is simply a one-off, tragic incident.

But almost as dangerous in my opinion, is when the missus finds out you've bought another guitar without prior approval. It is said that mental torture is worse than physical.

It'll be OK, guys, don't worry.  A woman was stabbed with a potato peeler by a guy she met on Facebook and they haven't banned those yet.  Granted she didn't die, but still....

Given the way some people react, it might be the new way of critiquing relic'd guitars

let's just hope the BNP don't think it's a good idea, else they'll have stickers on them saying "this guitar is used by fascists".

Hootsmon
