Gordon Smith GS2 (hand made in't North) and a wee 15 Watt Marshall for me, bought it when I was about 17 - I wanted to play like Slash but couldn't afford a Gibson, and was then distracted by other things through my twenties. I picked it up again last Jan with the intention of learning to play the way I had always wanted to be able to, I've been putting in the hours ever since and have improved enormously.
It sounds great with the two humbuckers and the tone backed off a little, the action is pretty good but it does buzz a bit. I should take it to a luthier really. I tried a LP Studio at the time and was really disapointed, I don't think it had been set up properly, the strings were about an inch off the fretboard (I exagerate slightly!) and it was awful to play, the GS was like silk in comparison, although it buzzed like a kazoo when I first picked it up!
I've promised myself a Les Paul and Marshall Plexi when I think I'm good enough, I rekon it'll take me another year or two, or three before I'm anywhere near where I want to be. |
