Electric Guitars / Re: NGD

Nice looking guitar!!!

I'm glad to hear that it plays and sounds as well as it looks. I've recently seen Knaggs guitars on the web but wasn't aware that he was the Director of R&D and Custom shop at PRS!

I agree with Creekster - this is a very well balanced course... licks, solos, theory, scales... awesome job Robert Thanks!!! I'll be spending more time with this one.

I've never seen that before either. Very interesting.

Are you thinking of trying it...? I wonder how well the existing pickups would work... would they do a good job on the extra strings.

I had a 12 string at one time. I spend half of my time tuning it and the other half of my time playing out of tune!!

What a cool looking pair of guitars. Each is beautiful but together they are awesome. Almost like negatives of each other.

Do they sound similar?

Electric Guitars / Re: Help me choose, or give an idea, up to USD 600-650

I'll need more than luck. Shiping cost from Rondo to my place is USD225, so USD300 guitar, imediately becomes USD525 + 10% customs duty (fixed rate for goods comming by post) + 20%VAT on top of it all + local courriering and taxes. Price more than doubles. Still, almost within the limit, but I'm not sure I want to pay 700 for something listed as 300. Bummer. I'll have some sleeples nights over this one.

Yes I can see that makes a big difference WOW! I believe you are in Belgium...? so it sounds like you pretty much want to deal with local guitar shops...?

I personally have not played an Agile but I have heard many good reviews of them. A guy at work has one that he is very pleased with.

Good luck.

Where you have 2 Squires... a Tele and a hollow body... are looking for a humbucker then maybe it would be worth considering an Epiphone Les Paul. They are within your price range.

Robert - Thanks for passing that along. I wondered if that might be the case. I have severe hearing loss and wear hearing aids in both ears... Protecting your hearing is very important, I wish I had been more aware of the damage loud music can cause... Take care!

I have no idea why he was wearing headphones. I was wondering that myself... perhaps they were acting as ear plugs or monitors.

Was that video already posted here, if so, my apologies?
