Guitar & Music Book Stand COMBINIATION SMG1 – Music Bits Company I've never used this company. I just found it after doing a Google search, so you might want to research them, if you were to buy from them. I'd say it would probably cost you nearly as much to modify an existing music stand, if not more, than it would to buy one. I'm not sure what a "combiniation" is.

Welcome Alpro!

Welcome!

Firewood - A Strat (if it's good enough for Jimi...) Weapon - a BC Rich of some sort or a Gene Simmons axe bass Play - My Harley Benton TE-62 or my Ibanez AS-73

Welcome!

You could get a Fender Standard for that budget, or my local guitar shop has a Fender Player II Fender Player II Stratocaster, Rosewood Fingerboard, Polar White – Matchetts Music

Have you ever thought of taking the Fusion to a guitar tech to set up? Maybe they can get the neck closer to the way you want it. I'm surprised that the AS53 doesn't stay in tune. I have an AS73 and it stays in tune pretty well - just the occasional slight tweak needed. I would imagine it has the same hardware as the AS53.

Welcome Simon!

Welcome. Your Cort looks very similar to my Ibanez AZES40. Good luck with it.

Welcome Chris, from the Belfast direction.

Pick up manufacturers charging more for special tone wax

Not what you think...yikes!! “Well this is a first…”: Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus says it was so hot in Saudi Arabia that his pickups melted | MusicRadar

Sounds like a real bargain. I had a quick look on Reverb and other Cox Classix electric guitars are selling from about £150 second hand. Obviously, they aren't covered in stickers with repainted headstocks, but your is now in the same condition after a little work. Well done.

You can get a pretty good Ibanez new for that sort of money, so you should be able to get one of their higher spec models for the same price, second hand. hard to go wrong with a Yamaha too.

Excellent !

That's a new one on me

Welcome DoaA

Welcome UD.

Welcome Kai.

Welcome!

Nothing. Don't really need anything.

Welcome Dewayne. How long did they wait before he could come down from the tree?

I always associate him with the white/ivory one.

I'm another one who doesn't like gold tops. I just don't really like gold in general. I've nothing against PRSs, though. My guitar tutor has a couple and they sound great.

Welcome Rosie
