Hobbies......other than cars

awesome man looking forward to seeing a picture [ATTACH=CONFIG]3471[/ATTACH]

there's a pic of mine

That’s a nice axe! I love white with gold hardware. I’ve got a cheapish white and gold hollow body, unfortunately it’s started to yellow so doesn’t look as good as it once did!!

Anyway, here’s my beloved Gibson. I just wish
it had trapezoid inlays...it’s my only bugbear with it. Currently saving up to treat myself to a Fender Strat or Tele to join it!

Well.....I've bought another one.
Saw it on the local gumtree for £85.
Got it for £60 including the stand
So it'll sit nicely with the other 2

Good going with the price. That’s a nice finish that. I can’t quite make out if it’s a dark red or a brown though?

I managed to grab an old acoustic Hofner from the 70s at a car boot for £25 a few years back. I don’t think they knew what they had...lovely guitar. I’m running out of space to put them all now.

That is lovely RBH .
I've always been a fan of guitars.
Never owned one.never played one .
I got interested in them when I watched a documentary about Steve Howe ( brilliant guitarist out of Yes )
He spoke so passionately about his collection.

I have too many interests and hobbies for my own good but I love guitars too, like a lot of 80s rock and some older stuff. Unfortunately I don't know much about guitars but wanted to learn, so bought a Squier strat on a whim a while ago(I know they're just a cheap Fender but looks ok on display, not like these lovely ones you lot have). Sadly just never find time to properly get into it....probably need to stay off ID a bit more

Apparently it's called smoke .....but it's brown to me.

I've started buying old stuff that's a bit knackered and restoring it. Currently have a Peugeot coffee grinder from the 40's that's just waiting on drilling and tapping a handle and putting back together and a couple of 70's Anglepoise workshop lamps. Also just finished polishing the living hell out of a Moka pot.

Camping is another thing I love doing with the fam. We've bought a new inflatable 6 man tent that were wanting to give a whirl soon.

My missus also says I'm a fan of red wine. She's not wrong

I see I'm not the only string slinger on here. I have never owned particularly fancy guitars but I play a Squier Bass Vi which gets me some odd looks from some folks or I play my Fender Jazz for nights I'm feeling lazy. I also do enjoy playing my washburn 7 string, I used to own a Schecter 7 string that was matte black with smoked nickel hardware and a set of Seymour Duncans. Aww lads, it was amazing. Shame I had to sell it to afford to move out. Haha.
Apart from playing guitar, I used to be in the Irish Coast guard so I'm all too familiar with being in the cold cold Atlantic.
Nowadays I have gotten back into a passion that lay dormant for about 15 years. And this is the proper nerdy stuff... Dungeons and Dragons. I play 5th edition with a few mates and have done for the past couple years. Honestly folks, of you ever get a chance, give it a go. Great game, great laugh and it just seems to have something for everybody. And when I'm not doing all that, I'm either exercising, building computers or pc gaming. I have far too much on my plate and most of it costs too much money. But those are my hobbies.

hi mate

sorry only seeing your post now

lovely guitar! is it a special?

I would love a strat - currently have a lend of a malmsteen signature strat with the scalloped frets - fantastic instrument

An amp is first on my agenda, only started playing again recently and sold my half-stack a few years back

nice guitar mate

Yes Pete loving the collection, it's an expensive hobby but it's worth it I guess

I don't think anything is more expensive as playing with real cars and changing it.
