London is the place you are 'supposed to visit' when you come to England, brochure wise. It's ok, i enjoyed it when I went. But really....Balls to it, come up North and have a good time. Manchester. Woo.

I was born in London (Enfield as it happens) but we moved when I was two so I have no idea what its like to live in london. However I do live down the road from Ripley and can say there's not too much there, although it does have a small guitar shop with some very nice gentlemen, who accidentily sold me an accoustic for Ã‚Â£200 under the asking price and didn't care one bit!!!

I'd agree that people are generally more approachable in the street further north.
I'm a big fan of Glasgow. Spent 4 years at uni there and it's a fantastic city. Not nearly as rough as people make it out to be.
If any of you guys get over to the UK, you should definitely try and see Scotland too. It's an awesome place.

Played a bunch of gigs in South London recently - people kept telling us it was gonig to be really crap and dangerous, but I actually enjoyed it more than central london! The crowds were really nice and friendly, very down-to-earth... central London is a lot more pretentious, I've found.

Joe is dead right about the money side of things - if oyu live in central London and are rich, there are loads of cool things to do and places to go, but if you're not it's not much fun.

Thanks for all the reply's, I didn't mean to give the impression that I thought London wasn't friendly. The Autobiography of Eric Clapton is where I got the statement and it surprised me because Eric loves his home called "Hurtwood" and states that England is the only place he really feels at home. The book is worth reading, it makes you realize that in the early 60's there were a group of english musicians that all knew each other well and over the span of 10 years changes the music scene world wide. I was surprised at how close knit Eric, the Beatles, Stones, The Who, etc all were and how they tried to help each other through hard times.

The people on this forum are what makes me want to visit England/Scotland, if most of the them are like you guys, it would be a great time.

Hey Aslan,
Do you love the E.J. Strat as much as I?

Aslan · Post by **Aslan** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 8:23 pm

rrrajo,
The EJ strat is better than many Custom Shop Strats I've played. The neck is a perfect fit for my hand and the pickups are excellent.

I couldn't have said it better. I have Played and Owned many Custom Shop Strats and after $2500 and upwards, you still have a Guitar that Chokes the Higher Registers. This EJ has the perfect Radius and Fretwire! The Pickups are Awesome too. The Neck is not Fat But not thin.

I believe they are a Steal.

Hey Jimi, what ever made you want to get an ej?

notagain · Post by **notagain** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 10:51 pm

I too want an EJ or a Flying V.
That will complete any and all GAS
for guitars...I pray!

I am leaning towards the flying V however,
must be a flashback to the 60's and 70's and
Andy Powell...

Hey Mark, a v would be a lot less money.

rrrajo · Post by **rrrajo** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 11:07 pm

Constant bragging by Scott, Clay, and a Bunch of others on this Forum. I looked at one, but never gave it a thought as I have had close to 40 Strats in all. I thought it would play between a Clapton and a SRV. No way. All the bragging was Correct.

Jimi, I am glad to have been a help.
