Acoustic Guitars

[Seorie]

Not surprisingly due to having been hijacked by a handful of the UK's version of characters from 'Mighty Wind"
Thankfully we've got this place for things 'Acoustic'.

Linky no worky.

yeah John, exactly my point - it was the only dedicated acoustic guitar forum in the UK run by a magazine = no running costs to the forumites, and a dozen or so people managed to allianate virtually every one who registered on it - quite a feat. The funnyest part is that they kept reasuring THEMSELVES it was such a 'friendly' place to hang whilst the statistics proved otherwise.

From a population of <> 60 Mil and the steel string acoustic being very popular here you'd think you could sustain at least one healthy forum but they wanted to keep it 'local' in the Anglosentric way - like this, just change the word 'Road' to 'Forum'

A cautionary tale for our times.  

I've always thought there was an unhealthy strain of provincialism here on HCAG, what with the bagging on HCPP or teh MAPS, the boobie wars with GJ...   People need to get out more.  There are some great folk on the other HC subforums.  Or at least there were...  

Anyway, sorry for your loss and all, but glad you're posting here.  Most espescially when you play.

I used to subscribe to that magazine when it first came out - It didn't really float my boat.  Great for acoustic guitar porn though - but the price of the hookers they featured meant that I could look but not touch.

That was fun. You've always been one of my favorite peeps to argue with.    

Along with everything else having to do with continuty here, 3.0 managed to unlock all of the locked threads.  So that "Banned" thread is now wide open for monkey-wrenching, not that I'd bother bothering.  The better thread in that series was the sticky that got deleted, imo.

Why thank you kind sir

thank you.

Do you mean play guitar or play as in post ?

As 'fatback' said, there is an elitist eliment to the Mag that spilled over into the forum in particular a couple of their main advertisets who can be found on the AGF 'Custom Shop" advertising high end guitars in the UK - who use phrases like "I working with XXX YYY luthier" to bring his amasing instruments to the UK and what their doing is ordering a guitar , from a maker - in the materials that'll most likely sell, they advertise their 'commissions' heavily on the AGF and previously AMF and vitually never contribute to threads other than their own.

You're welcome.  A gracious winner is a rare and wonderful thing.
