    I'd just use sellotape if I were you.

    My 14 year old daughter saved her money for a guitar earlier this year. We visited hull from Glasgow couple of months ago and went to skirlington Market. A guy on a guitar stall sold her a dodgy amp..dodgy lead and broken guitar...we just need to find a cheap electric guitar now.we have replaced others...dodgy bugger

    I think you can see why - fifteen, from Cork apparently, and busking in Dublin with a voice like this. Apparently she has been signed up with recording studios in USA, UK, Germany

    First time I've been on today. To save me time back checking 6 pages, does Acun Ilicali play the guitar then?

    WTF is happening apart from nothing?

    Acun can play the fiddle, just like the majority of our previous/future owners. :emoticon-0100-smile

    I'd take the whole Acun interest with a very cold Turkish bath. During one of his divorces his net worth was suggested to be circa £20Mil. Is that a sufficient level of wealth to be playing in this game?

    worked in a music store in Glasgow, Scotland, for almost 20 years. Anyone who has ever worked in that kind of environment will tell you they’ve seen some pretty weird stuff. Factor in that I was the guitar-repair guy, and the potential for weirdness rockets into the stratosphere.

    Here's exhibit A to kick things off:

    There was the young guy with a silver-sparkle Charvel—a Model 375, if I remember correctly. Anyway, bored with his guitar’s finish, he decides to strip it off. He dips the guitar in a vat of paint stripper before thinking, "Oh, maybe I should have taken the hardware and pickups off first."

    By the time I saw it, all of the guitar’s plastic bits had melted and the black hardware was way past its best.


    B. Fella brings in a guitar he’s put together himself. It looks good. He tells me he’s wired up all the components correctly but the guitar doesn’t work. I take a look inside the control cavity and all the wires and capacitors are indeed connected in the right places ... with Plasticine modeling clay and sticky tape. There’s not a drop of solder in sight.

    C. Fed up that his guitar was going out of tune—probably needed to stretch the strings—a novice player comes up with a genius idea. He gets the guitar in tune then coats each machine head with Superglue. If it can’t move, it can’t go out of tune, right? Then he broke a string. Er ... (See the main photo at the top of this post.)

    D. Angry customer approaches one Saturday morning with a Squier Stratocaster he bought the previous week. "It’s not working," he barks. I take a look and spot the problem immediately. He’s only gone and fitted his new guitar with a set of classical strings.


    He tied huge knots in the end of each string to stop them slipping through the vibrato. That should have been his first clue. Electric guitars don’t cope too well with plastic strings, I tell him. He stops shouting.

    E. This one is terrifying. Man is buying a guitar cable. He says it’s for his daughter, who has just got her first electric guitar. He’s about to leave when he says, "So, I just snip the end off one end of the lead and fit a wall socket, then?"

    "No!" I replied. He thought that the guitar was plugged directly into a wall socket. Imagine that! His daughter could have been fried. I explained the whole concept of electric guitars and sold him a practice amp. Disaster averted, I hope.

    I’ve got countless more stories like this. The young lad staying up for hours the previous night trying to screw the vibrato arm into his Stratocaster’s jack socket is just another one.

    It's Allie Sherlock, she's 16 and her videos have been shared millions of times over the past five years (I'm sick of seeing them to be honest). I'm surprised she's not had a hit record yet, she's had massive exposure, including a live performance The Ellen Degeneres Show three years ago and she's had a recording deal for three years now.

    Well she is new to me, so all very novel. Don't tell you don't like her duo with guitar wonder Peter Crouch?

    Adam Lynch anyone? Local busker.
    Amazing voice and decent guitar player.
    Sometimes you wonder why talent like that hasn't made it. Some get that lucky break, others don't I guess.
