england looks weird in those last two pictures.

whatever. that headstock looks like shit. the squier jaguar has a better fucking decal for fucks sake

Page 3 is disgusting. Get the Sun's Australian owner to do something about it. Oh, hang on, he's not Australian any more, is he? Isn't he American now? Some of us won't buy any service provided by that grasping, culture-corrupting Ozzie.

is anyone really going to take seriously the global view of someone called "poorhillbilly"?

would have looked better with these and you wouldn't have any new holes in your guitar should you want to reverse it.

certainly not with the 'english threads'

Odd that he'd be hanging around on a Cork based website if he was Australian or American, no?

Actually scratch that, this whole fucking thing is too weird to bother thinking about.

Some stupidity is just too flabbergasting to properly approach in a head-on fashion.

Amazingly dense bullshit.

Britian? Not only not actually a country (as has already been pointed out), but you haven't spelt it right either.

There are no countries or people.. there is just business and possibilities of owning..

^{Some crazy business man told that.}

haha, what a fucking shambles.

This is the best modded guitar ever! So glad it has a thread. Oh boy are we ever doing some guitar modding up in this bitch!

I did my law degree as a post graduate, which isn't that common here. Quite a few people on my course were lawyers from other countries converting to English law, including one Scot, which must have been super annoying for him since the two systems are so close.

That's the thing that's terrible about this profession. If I want to go anywhere in the US I have to take another bar exam. If I want to go to the UK, Canada, NZ or Aus.... I gotta go to school for another year. No portability. And what makes it terrible is that the art of being a lawyer has very little to do with knowing the law, and a lot to do with knowing how to find and analyze the law. Those traits are uniform across the Common Law world.

In summation: WAAAHHHH!!!!!

yeah I must admit Australia has a pretty bad track record, and it has problems, but isn't responsible for the the death of millions of inncocent people and responsible for some of the leading political issues in the world. Australia takes in alot of asylum seekers, It has since forever. The Aboriginal people came from Asia. The land is shared.

The Headstock, i dunno, Ive looked around. Black Japanese Jaguar HH look cool but are pretty XE.

This is good my thread as surpassed 1000 views since page 2.

Virbamate would not work. Its designed for a Bigsby, who knows how wide it would be, and whether or not it would fit over the tailpiece holes.

I am eyeing up some Sperzel lockers.

Schallers- Shit old German expensive
Gotoh-expensive, not my style
Grover-old.....
Sperzel-good quality, new flash looking, chrome, cheap, American!


So you think this guitar looks awesome. It plays like ten times better than how it looks. I have an 80s Fender Stage Lead II Series amp and a Boss Roland Ds 1. It all roars along like a beast.

So...Britain (yes, that's how it's spelt) is shit eh? Let me run a few facts by you if I may...
Surface area of the UK is 94,060 square miles and we process on average 25,670 claims for asylum here per year. Cold, uncaring bastards aren't we?
By my reckoning, Australia has 2,969,907 square miles to work with...I'll leave you to let me know how many people you guys give asylum to per year?
And Fender Jaguars are cheaper here.

If you have a look at the History of Britian, you'll find people have been arriving there for thousands of years. The post-glacial people arriving in Scotland 12,000 years ago, Scara Brae, 4,000 years ago tombs in Scotland, Britons, Celts, Romans, Angle-Saxons, Vikings, Danes, Normons, Dutch, and whole other groups of people since then. Britain has a history of immigration.

Australia has been settled by the Native Aboriginals 50,000 years ago. The same people living here since then. Malay Fisherman visiting frequently, there are varying disputes of which Europeans arrived to Australia first, The Dutch arrived here in 1606 and came ashore. William Dampier in 1688 and 99, but James Cook after mapping the East Coast of Australia did land here, calling it New South Wales and they did eventually colonise and met fierce resistance from the tribal Native Aborignial people, who did not live under one rule but had differing languages and laws.

You can't draw parralels towards Australia and Britain with a European Mindset. Its just stupid.

I'll also let you know that there are major population areas in Australia, like Melbourne, Sydney which proportionally have a history Immigration unrivalled anywhere in the World. But there are areas of Austrlia which consist largely of inhospitable Desert, dense Jungle, and World Heritage listed Forest. So proportionally speaking, you can't compare the two.

mid 2006 studies show that 4,956,863 people were born outside of Australia. The Population for that year was 20,848,760.

Simple spelling mistake. what are you going to do throw me on a boat and ship me half way across the world? It has been done for less.

Peace and harmony then - I bet the Aboriginals are like totes happy about that.

It's called mass reaction to someone with reallllly weird judgment criteria on subjects that he's happy to throw out in the faces of people reading the thread who find that person's opinions to be lacking in credibility or .....you know....reality.

Whilst I actually really like Sperzals your criteria for choosing them is, typically, skewed towards an avoidance of dealing with criteria that makes any sense in reality. Not to mention Germany is hardly known for a history of shoddy manufacturing. Sure, 'Expensive', I can get behind and sure, looks are a consideration, but OLD? GERMAN? AMERICAN? If you believe that kind of nonsense then I can hardly take your comments on nationality very seriously.

Seriously are you sure you're not Robroe trolling us?

At this point I actually have no idea what your point actually is other than to be antagonistic against 'British' people. Perhaps it's just that I'm failing to understand your points of reasoning and what those points they are supposed to support.... so lets get this defined with 2 questions shall we:

1) What specifically is your opinion about me for being born in Britain?

2) Are you so insecure as an individual that you need to bolster your sense of self-worth by a) taking credit for how brilliant you think Aus is, and b) only being able to do so by criticizing another country for it's history and then projecting that on to people from that country who weren't there at the time?

No I just don't like England, at all. And Britain as a whole. Scotland is nice, apart from the Rangers fans and the racist Nazi Unionists, never been to Northern Ireland or Wales. If you look back on the thread, you will notice that I made a jibe about Britain, and this repercussion and insecurity of what other people think of your nation is obviously stirring enough of a reaction for me to be told to ''fuck off'' by yourself, and called a ''Racist'' and "Xenophobe'' by another mindless flamer.

Well Britain are responsible for murdering the Aboriginals.

Germany can't even control an Cucumber epidemic, god knows what their tuners are like.

Roland Pedals are great.

Vibramate will not work. cavity remember. big fuckoff springs?

Laugh at Rolf Harris, but he did invent the Wobbleboard, which is a tad bit cooler than the Vibramate.
