Given that I've just joined, I thought this thread would be best to start in.

First became aware of Shortscale after seeing a couple of videos, one was Mike's demo of the CP Janguar, and the other was the Behringer construction test video. Then I proceeded to watch pretty much all the others. Great stuff.

Welcome to the boards.

Post pictures of all your stuff. We like that sort of thing.

Haha, don't have much gear atm. I've just come back to playing after a ten year hiatus. Stopped playing when I left for university, and only recently have found the time/money to get back into it. All my old stuff was sold, although it didn't amount to much (a Squier strat, a weird Westfield Les Paul copy that had in-built multi-fx, and a cheapo classical guitar).

This is my current one, an Epiphone Sheraton (bargain at Â£325 with hard case from Peter Cook's; well recommended if you're in the market for a slim archtop).

Saturday will likely be a day for a new guitar. I'm thinking of either getting a strat or a tele. Whether it's a classic player or a USA standard will all depend on how I feel when I look at my bank balance after getting paid tomorrow. I know eveyone raves about the value for money on the classic players, but I'm not a massive fan of the artificial aging stuff, and I reckon a USA standard will keep its value much better.

You could buy one that isn't road worn, they still sell ones that aren't, like.

The Classic Players Baja Tele and the Classic Players 60's strat are both excellent guitars, particularly the Tele. I reckon that'll be the next Fender I buy.

No I didn't mean that Road Worn stuff. I thought the classic players had old-looking knobs...not the relicing effect, but discoloured plastic on the strat for example.

Welcome to the boards! I literally can't believe the Baja Telecaster for the price, if you have the inkling to buy one do it now - all Fender prices go up on Feb 1st

You should be able to find it for Â£389

welcome msteuk, welcome to many late nights posting

+1 baja tele. excellent guitar. i plan to nick mikes at the next doogfest, mike will never tell the difference between the baja and a squire bullet

i own the classic player 60's strat, i love it to pieces. to be honest MIM are able to make really good guitars at around half the price of their MIA counterparts.

Bacchus · Post by **Bacchus** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 10:17 pm

There was a shop here had one for Â£340 during the summer. Like a dick I didn't buy it. I hope to put this right at some point, because I don't want to go on regretting this for the rest of my life.

haha. Depends how drunk I get, I guess.

Fine guitars though, I loved your Classic Player Strat aswell. Beauty

to be honest, unless i had the money to get an MIA , I'm happy to play MIM. can't see the point in paying extra, unless is was something really special.

That's probably because I'm a loudmouth tosspot regardless of my sobriety level.

I just noticed your signature, fantastic. That's Bill Bailey isn't it?

I'd rather not post it in case someone nefarious sees it in a public forum but I'll pm you.

Road Trip to Glasgow? That's a mission and a half, I'd sooner get the train if I was going to Scotland

BTW Paul - that's insane, you silly sod. You should have been all over that.
