It's about time I bought a new guitar.

10 years ago, my daughter snapped the neck of my guitar just below the tuning pegs. I glued it and have been using it ever since. ( by ‘using’ I mean dragging it out every time I have more than half a bottle of wine, much like the bloke in shameless who drags out his ukelele when he’s larruped.)
The thing is, I know it’s never been the same since, and it wasn’t all that to start with. You could drive a small hatchback between the strings and the fretboard.
So I’m after a replacement.
I don’t want and can’t afford/justify a brand new guitar.
I’m not sure I care what condition its in aesthetically, provided it has a nice action, straight neck, and a nice rich sound.
I know there’s a few musos on here, so if you have a martin with a nasty scratch across the face, or a semi acoustic gibson with flaking varnish, then let me know.

Get yourself to the Gibson factory, Memphis Tn

You can see them being made and then of course buy one.

Awesome experience.

You could always just buy a new neck? I got one for my strat back in the day…

This is how I feel when most people bring a guitar out at a party.

I have a Black Ibanez hard tail I want to sell. Lovely guitar, brand new condition. no marks or scratches if your interested…?

How much?

Who brings guitar to a party?

Also if you don’t tell us your budget there’s no way we can help you

I think I need to get this back on track… I play it drunk, but rarely to anyone other than the long suffering Mrs Scorch. :wink:

Not worth replacing the neck tbh, I paid 120 quid for it brand new from Drum’n’strum in Worthing Sussex 20 years ago.
I used to play a lot, played with a blues band in Elgin Texas for a while, and while I was there picked up a fender acoustic at the local pawn shop for peanuts. On closer inspection the label on the back of the head read
‘drum’n’strum, worthing sussex’ Small world eh?

Ideally someone is going to tell me they have a tatty old guitar in the cupboard they don’t play anymore. Budget? about £100.00

£300 ono

S’got Duncan pickups… nice.

I got a sg double neck that I would sell you :D:D with a nice fender pa/ amp and speakers.

Yeah, but I’d have to sell my bike to pay you, and that’s just wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

I got a Marshall practice amp in the loft though, if anyone’s up for some trading :wink:

I might be interested in that myself. Of the 8 guitars I have got, none of them have a double neck. I assume that one of them is a 12 string?

Oooh I’d love the SG! But would get shot if I tried to buy another guitar :slight_smile:

Looks like a pretty good deal…

yeah the top one is 12 strings, trouble is I want to much money for it :smiley:

Not surprised, £800 new!

Takamine G Series, little use and Vox Amp. I’d be looking at £280 for both. Simply sitting there doing nothing. Pity really as it is a lovely guitar.

Would you split them? How much for the guitar?

Guitar £240. No idea on the Vox amp, out of touch with the prices. I have it in a soft case and it probably needs new strings. Just sitting doing nothing which is a crying shame. I’ve also got a classical guitar, but will keep that one for sentimental reasons.
