Members therhodeo Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 The lead singer that I play with is like 6'4" and its always funny when I put his guitar on it hangs to my knees and he plays it in a pretty natural position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel big at 6' 210lbs. This is the result of all the big men migrating from the Amps forum over the years, leaving all the girly-men behind to compensate with brewtal gain.

Lol...I remember when I checked out the Pittbull years ago and thought the cleans were pretty good, but as a mostly clean player, there are much nicer options in my opinion.At least your intentions were pure.

At least your intentions were pure. Have you played the Deliverance yet? Totally different animal (from pretty much anything by anybody, really). I own a Goodsell Super 17, a '68 Showman, a '69 Super Reverb, a '63 Vibroverb RI, and a Mesa Maverick, so my "regular" clean bases are covered fairly well, methinks. ;^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've bought nearly everything from the US and paid through the arse for shipping (like the OF)... ...still, I save at least 50% everytime I do that, unless it's cool Oz made gear like MI Audio.

I didnt realize how true that is until i sold a guiar on ebay and had to ship there. The size restrictiona are a pain in the ass!!!! After i finally met the size requirement, it cost $97 to ship it:eek: At least you guys are nice and polite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda suprised more yanks don't sniff around our makers a lot more since most will export anywhere.Grubisas are just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm kinda suprised more yanks don't sniff around our makers a lot more since most will export anywhere. Grubisas are just the tip of the iceberg. My GAS knows no bounds. I've been at least aware of (and lusted after enough to bookmark, in most cases):http://www.reynolds-valveart.com.au/http://www.berketaguitars.com/http://www.belmanguitars.com/http://www.labsystems.com.au/http://www.guitarcraft.com.au/http://www.jimdysonguitars.com.au/http://www.melvilleguitars.com/http://www.noyceguitars.com/http://www.odonnellguitars.com/http://rizzolo.customer.netspace.net.au/And a few more, like Scott Wise, Maton (of course), Chris Kinman (almost bought some of his stuff in the past), Chunk Systems, SWD, BJ Amps, Ledford, etc...My favorite is still Grubisa, though. :^p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Impressive...I can tell you I visited Chris Melville's home and he showed me some of his acoustics...I nearly wet myself. Just the quality in craftmanship I've never seen before. Pics don't do it justice. I was too scared to hold the guitar in case I scratched it...it was worth $5000, and how. I believe Tommy Emmanuel has a Melville, but he's mostly Maton man due to sponsor arrangements etc. That kind of level is up there with anything I've seen on the net over the years though.Btw, also had Jim Dyson make me a hollow body tele with Kinman pups.
