    Part of me thought it would simply be a delightful ornament but my goodness, she plays like a beast! I'm genuinely gobsmacked. She joins Fender, Gretsch, PRS and Ibanez in my little collection and is certainly not out of place.

    Just browsing old stuff on YouTube and this is the reason we have to get back to watching football.

    How good was this:

    What Gretsch do you have? I have a small Gretsch acoustic and love it. Prefer my Strats though - never played a Gretsch ......

    As today is Ralph's 100th game with Saints I was looking at manager statistics (as you do) and found it quite an interesting comparison that Ralph (37%) has almost exactly the same win% as Poch did (38%).

    With a number of fans growing frustrated at Ralph and a minority even call for the sack, it is interesting that we adored Poch and not once questioned his position.

    I suppose it partially comes down to the quality of the squad each manager had - I'd say they were relatively even. A few class players in both squads but overall not much depth.

    I have a Gretsch Falcon acoustic and feel exactly the same. Will definitely be getting the electric at some point, probably after the Mrs has recovered from another guitar turning up!

    Well, you know what they say - “the number of guitars you need equals the number you have plus one” :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Go for a White Falcon semi-acoustic. Better than a Gibson ES-335. Don’t tell the wife how much you pay for it though.

    A woman stands accused of murdering her husband by beating him to death with his guitar collection. “First offender?” says the judge. “No”, she replies, “First a Gibson, then a Fender...”

    That looks choice mate. I’ve always been a Gibson player as never loved the feel of fenders but recently had a hankering for a strat. Did you consider going black hardware to match the kit colours?

    That’s on my list for a “must have” at some point ..... but I do need to shift some of my “cheaper” models first <wah>
    Managed to sell a Vintage Les Paul Gold Top, a mandolin and a few Danelectro fx pedals this last week. Still about 4 guitars, plus a few other bits n pieces to go ...... :(

    But, getting back on thread before the mods kick me off ....... are you going to gig the Saints guitar sometime, Bov? Would love to see it in action! :emoticon-0103-cool:<wah>

    Haha. Was just trying to write a congratulatory post for Steven Davis winning the Scots Premier League today.

    Phone is acting weird though.
