Hi Guys
I am thinking of getting a guitar custom designed (depending on price) One thing I am interested in doing is what hendrix did and having the headstock and tuners upside down.
How is this possible/done?
Going by the pictures it looks like the neck has been joined from a the opposite hand guitar.
Thanks

For that budget, I would def check out the PR-5, EJ-200. Both made by Epiphone.

After playing the acoustic for a while. I prefer having an electric and an acoustic. If your like me though, you will go to the shop with a list of the ones you want to try and buy but you always get distracted haha
Whats your budget, what you got your eye on?

Could just have to chance it mate and buy it from a localish store and if your not happy, return.

I think the best thing to do or to attempt is to contact your local retailer and ask for them to order you in (if the dont stock it) a Squier thinline and a Fender thinline. Give them both a good going over and then seeing if its worth the extra pennies.
It is a lovely looking guitar but without being a brand snob, Squier just doesnt do it for me. I had a look on youtube and there a good few vids of people playing the squier and it sounds nice but then again you just dont know.

Your gagging on a thinline mate.
I have to say, personally. I would never buy a squier and this is because im hearing so many bad reviews, although reviews are individual accounts on a guitar the squier models dont warrant the risk.
Im not one for just going for Brand but Squier for me is a no no. I would save up mate and get the Fender Thinline or maybe a copy thinline if you can find any.

Quite like that site. I dont want to plug the other ones I use (Unless Mojo doesnt mind). Mojo, not 100% sure if you mind plugging different youtube/website teachers but ive just come across this video and going to attempt it, although Bm ive not tried. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qdwNXKtuoQThis post can be deleted if ive broken any rules though.

I am getting somewhere with the E Shape barre chords but still needs a lot of practice. Im trying it on acoustic first as it will build up my hand strength.
Ive been playing for just over a year and only recently decided that I NEED to learn these as there is no point avoiding the hard/frustrating parts.
verbosity - Are you using a lesson to learn Whiskey in the Jar, if so what one?
There is one that is on davejonesguitar.co.uk but never attempted it, if that is of any help.
