    Back To Basics

    Lessons are good at inspiring you if you can't quite get there yourself. I took up lessons earlier this year and i definitely feel like my playing is improving better than self teaching.

    Bringing back guitar from USA

    Currently I'm enjoying the rainy weather of Florida, and as my holiday draws close to an end I have considered picking up an axe and taking it back home to Scotland with me? Good idea? Anyone else done it?

    Ibby Paint

    Doubt if it's common knowledge but do Ibanez specially get their paint from suppliers or do the in house painters create special mixes? Looking to recreate the paint jobs of RGA121 crushed ocean and crushed ruby.
