Welcome Rabb!

I love that colour

You laugh, but I bet that at the back of your mind there's a little voice going "Hmm, I wonder..."

I'm sure there's probably some way of doing it; probably involving soaking the teatowel in epoxy resin or something like that.

Welcome!

Hi Hugh. Guitars are pretty simple, once set up. Just plug in and play (if electric).

Welcome Slider

I'll add my local shop, Matchetts in Belfast. They have a website with online ordering. The staff are friendly and helpful when in-store.

Sounds really good. Well done.

I had a look on Gear 4 Music and they have a JS11 Dinky that looks similar to the one you posted - dot inlays, headstock...

Welcome to the forum

If you want a campfire-style guitar (you know the sort of thing, some good looking guy with long, wavy hair produces one at a party and all the girls start ignoring you), it's hard to go wrong with a Yamaha F-310

Thanks. Those will come in useful. I've subscribed.

Blimey, where do I start? Moving my fretting fingers fast enough, clean picking.

Welcome! What sort of budget do you have in mind?

Bienvenue!

I have seen that logo before, but, for the life of me, can't remember where.

Welcome!

I did a quick google but can't find much about them. What I did find suggests that it might be a Chinese brand.

I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about curling your thumb over the top of the neck to fret the thick E string? You say you can't hit the first string with your thumb, but that would be the thinnest string, so I'm not sure why you'd be using your thumb on it. I'm sure you know about Tony Iommi, of Black Sabbath and how he lost the tips of his fingers on his fretting hand. He made prosthetic tips and changed the way he played to accommodate it. Also, Django Reinhardt lost the use of his ring and index fingers so modified the way he played.

That looks great

I'm glad you asked.

PGM30 with an RG neck?
