I don't think I've posted here before - I'm a member of basschat.co.uk, but after playing bass for decades, lately I've been singing and playing mandolin and octave mandolin. I don't actually play guitar, though I have a couple of guitar-shaped objects in my collection - an acoustic guitar bodied octave mandolin, and earlier this year a local guitar builder converted a copy of a Gibson SG to mandolin for me. I'm currently working towards a Rock School grade 2 acoustic guitar exam... with a mandolin!

I've 'Reported' this, hoping to get a reply from Admin. I'm only a Mod; I can't see anything untoward. We'll see what the Upper Echelons think of it. A bit of patience, please..?

I've got an FG-420E - had it for years, it's a very nice instrument. Just waiting for new strings from Strings Direct (and waiting, and waiting...). Can't comment on the other two.

Welcome Rosie

Good morning, @Rosie C, and ... ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

That mando SG is as cool as! I love the arch top too, but for different reasons.

France is in Europe?,........ Hmmph. And Europe is where? I'd figured they had disbanded by now.

Sorry had to leave. Didnt know where to sign out. Great scenery out there. Only seen it on film. Best friend's grandfather got shot on one of Normady beaches, with U.S. Marines. Back to your road, we dont have alot of sand in TN unless you go up into the mountains nearby. Not sureWhy theres sand there though.

It’s look like no one mentioned Hank B. Marvin and the red Stratocaster or Buddy Holly and his Strat.

Hi all, I'm a terrible guitar player and worse bassist. After years of troubling local wildlife with my bedroom exertions on skinny strings, I bought a few basses and realised that thicker strings make no difference, I'm still very bad. I was a member of that site named after a part of a guitar, but I made the mistake of getting too involved in off topic discussion and left. So I originally joined basschat when I thought I had switched to bass, but then after I realised that I can be useless on both guitar AND bass, I decided to join here as well.
