A Spark 40.

Keep us in the loop mate nearly pulled the trigger on one but 250 quid to play a few chords like Angus and Gilmour made me pause. Hopefully don't need a Gibson Sg too.

Will do, it's not due to arrive for another week or so though.

If you want an SG, Kenny's Music are selling the Vintage VS63, their version of the SG in Cherry Red for £249 which is by far the cheapest I've seen.

There is a lot more to it than that to be fair.

My brother bought this SG from Gibson last week, it's a one off syrup finish, only one in the World...

I'll say. I've been looking at videos and reviews for the last few days and it seems I've barely scratched the surface. It'll more than likely take a while for him to suss the thing out.

It looks the business as you say.

I can't really play but just love the sound. 2 or 3 chords from a great song is enough for me to feel the buzz.

Perhaps Ann Summers might be a cheaper alternative PST?

I had an SG but didnt like it. That Les Paul looks a beauty though. What's the double cut to the SG's right?

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'double cut'. The other two are Les Pauls.

Fancy this one but it is 1.7k. Be nice if i could play a tune.

Derek Trucks is pretty damn fantastic like.

[Lee909]

Probably my favourite living player. 

But I'm very much a Southern/Texas/slide guy so Trucks,Warren Haynes,Billy Gibbons. The new kid Marcus King looks good

It's not a double cut. I could only see half of the guitar so assumed there was a second 'cut' side like the first, a symmetrical shape,but it was another black Les Paul. Very nice too.

@Lee909

another guy on slide you might like is AJ Ghent - will try to post in one of the music threads

The Spark 40 my lad ordered arrived this morning. 

He said it sounds great but the app is refusing to interact with Spotify correctly making that feature, one of the main reasons he bought it pretty much unusable.

 

He's had a look online and he's not on his own. Apparently it's an issue that has been around for a while with Positive Grid yet to fix it.

He's raised a ticket with them and is waiting for their response though he's expecting a generic one with the usual 'we are aware of an issue, please bear with us while our engineers work on it'.

Problem is they've been 'working on it' since July with no sign of a fix.

 

He's pretty disappointed tbh. He said he's thinking about sending it back for a refund as it's basically false advertising and looking at something else, probably the Boss Katana he was looking at in the first place.
