Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

Seriously. This is not even a contest. Once Old Dear was allowed into the running it absolutely must win over any fancy paint job. I'd rock Amber happily but it would be a damn near religious experience to rock Old Dear.

Pfft. I play Strats, and am not a fan of LPs. If they were string through, and the switch was by the knobs, I think I could like them.

I am a fan of a nice finish though. Amber.
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

I've seen LPs like that by the dozen, I don't really get the hype to be honest. I gotta give it to Old Dear.

This. This has come down to Strats vs LPs. It really has nothing to do with the individual fiddles since they are so fundamentally different.
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

I'm just checking in from Adelaide, South Australia, over here for a couple of shows before I fly home on Sunday. The old girl thanks you all for the kind words, and sends her best regards to Amber for the finals. I figured I could add some more photos, but rather than just focus on looks, it might be worth checking out how she sounds, as well. Here's a few examples of her history with me, over the past couple of decades at least.

First up, we go back to 1994, and her starring role in the music video for my original band, The Truth. You can see that she had a lot more of her paint in this clip.



Next, we move forward to 1999, and a national concert tour by a guy named John Farnham, who was touring to celebrate his 50th birthday. In this clip, she features on a slide solo around the 2 minute mark.



Now we jump to 2008, and a side project band I put together to play the music that inspired me to become a guitar player. Here she is playing the Deep Purple classic, Mistreated.



And finally to earlier this year, a live TV performance with the main act I work for, on a charity show for the local Children's Hospital. A song called The Horses, written by Rickie Lee Jones and Walter Becker. Here's the old girl in close to her current state.



Enjoy!





Cheers.............................. wahwah

This gave me goosebumps. Well done sir.

Thanks Gamera, goosies say "mission accomplished" to me. Much appreciated. Ritchie's version on "Made in Europe" that I based this on always did the same to me, so that's a fine compliment indeed.

Oh no dear sir, this indeed IS abot the individual and not the stable.

As much as I love Amber, hell I'd give my left testicle for her, think
I even offered Lucid one of my daughters once, I would gladly become
a Eunoch in Princess' Old Dear's harem of of gorgeous Amber's and Aqua's.

Now, off to tell the wife I slept with her sister and job's done:argh:......:yes11:
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

I like 'rm both a lot.

Had to go for amber because it is "more me." I love Strats, but mainly the '50's-style or early-'60's-style cosmetics and pickups.

Agreed. Old Dear it is!
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

Youre a great dancer WahWah! ;)
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

As I've said elsewhere, without knowledge of her history I would vote against Old Dear. I can't ignore the significant mojo that goes with her history, so she gets my vote.

:dunno:

Amber IS sweet, though.
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

Mistreated wouldn't play but Demon's Eye is badass!

Edit: Mistreated is freakin' wonderfully cool. Great stuff!!! There's what is lacking in Metalesque music for me, "letting it breathe" and clear vocals. :headbang:

Amber is only down 10. Not insurmountable at all. And a lot of dudes are propbably on forum vacation...

I'm hoping the LP pulls it out.
