People that play guitar are often just incels with sunglasses instead of gaming chairs.

Stopped reading at “she”..

I feel dirty for reading that.

Ultimate bullshit detector is when people remark a string has broke, so they have a brand new one.

Could be attached to the bedroom flippper thread - I think he sits in his bedroom farting all day and then tells his mum to "deal with it".

I don't know why people refer to guitars as "she" - I generally stop when I see that.

“Here’s the dope” - who talks like that?

I get lost for words when I read that sort of thing. Where I live, it’s built into the language. I tend not to notice when someone throws it into conversation. But when I read it in black and white in reference to a guitar I exit as quickly as possible. It’s a plank of wood with six strings on it ffs.

.....and they’re not even humbuckers!

They’re DeArmonf single coils. Would need to take the pickups off to check, but they’re either DeArmond 2K, or 2000’s.

2K are more P90 like, the 2000’s are closer to Dynasonic single coils, same as you get on a Gretsch G512(1-9).

Pickups are very nice, could be worth up to £250 as a set. They were white top on DeArmonds, and black on a Gretsch.

Description is awful, but the guitar is ok.

His valuation is laughable. Wouldn’t pay more that £250 for the whole guitar, but I’m mean.

Trem is made for DeArmond by Bigsby, so a decent unit.

Wasn’t he just introducing himself?

You may wish to avoid France, Spain, Italy and probably a bunch of other countries in future then, as I have some bad news about their languages for you...

Damn, and I was hoping to do a Covid tour of Europe next month.

Cant decide which bits I hate most. Maybe we can have a vote:-

OK, here's the dope
nearly 30 years old and getting rarer all the time (investment).
was a good girl
recordings were spanky sharp and grunting devilish.
a beautiful classic car of a guitar
she runs beautifully.
My old band leader saw me play this on stage last year and he just smiled.
she is very experienced and looks dead sexy in a red dress.
bye, bye grown up guitar, hello new lover.

I think no.7 is most weird

"Just smiled" almost as if he was watching a long missed ex playing with her new child in the park and he could finally just be happy for her.

Try as I might, I just can't wash the taste of vomit from my mouth.

Has to be number 8, surely you couldn't be prosecuted for physically attacking someone who referenced a guitar that way in person?

Chris de Burgh is upping his personal security as we type.

True, as nouns in their languages have genders. English doesn't so calling an inanimate object 'she' is indeed totally cringeworthy and tells us a lot about the person using it.

I wanna buy it and burn it just to feel clean

Howdy, Stranger!
