Last Friday (14th March) one of my students, Vick and I had a visit to GuitarGuitar in Birmingham.
Vick had put a deposit down on a Burns Apache guitar, so we went down to pick it up and he asked me to come with him to give my thoughts on the guitar before he committed to buying it.
The guitar was fantastic, especially for the price that he paid for it, there wasn't a scratch on it and it had all of the original case candy. My favourite feature was the lovely flamed maple neck (which I forgot to get a picture of!) Whilst we were there I spotted something that I liked myself, a Suhr Modern, with a Bengal burst finish and the Guthrie Govan specs. Of course I couldn't say no trying it. So there I was, sitting with one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen, plugged in and ready to shred... but something about it just didn't feel right, I felt very underwhelmed by it, especially for a £3000+ guitar! So unfortunately I left empty handed, but Vick walked away with a stunning guitar which I am sure he will enjoy for years to come!
