    Yes, number 7 should be arriving today, I hope before I leave for home. [EDIT]It arrived ! :cool: [/EDIT] Shouldn't have done it, but I could not contain myself. :sigh: On the other hand, it will be major fun. :-D For those wanting to decrypt the above. This version will be an ESP LTD MH-1000 deluxe. I have six other versions, yet only one other ESP. I didn't tell the missus ... :~

      I've not really played enough LTDs. I am, primarily, an Ibanez man. How come you're only on number 7? I am trying to whittle mine down below 30.

          It's a collection built up over nearly 40 years. In my time, I've bought some brilliant guitars and I've bought others that were, well, less brilliant (Brian May Custom, I'm looking at you here). I have guitars that cost 1000s and ones that cost a tenner.

            Have fun with it! I "only" own 4 different guitars (Fender, Hohner,...). I surely would have more, if I could only explain it to my better half. But it looks like you have the same problem ;-)

              It is better to sleep in the huffy bed than seek permission. The way I look at it - Mrs Pete buys lots of shoes and handbags, then only uses them two or three times (at most) before going out and buying more. In the long run, my hobby is a lot cheaper.

                Is the *Brian May Custom* the factory version of the hand made ex-wardrobe that no one could understand didn't have the same sound?

                  That's the puppy - but then again, that's the same one that May used on tour.

                      (Un)fortunately that's not the case when it comes to Mrs Leander (i.e. not lots of shoes and handbags, only a reasonable amount). Besides, I'm about to restaurate my new hobby Kreidler Florett Mokick[^], which occupies me enough. A new guitar can be afforded after that ;-)

                        This[^] is the one I fancy next. I'm getting rid of my Santana PRS, Brian May and a couple of my Jem 777s so I reckon I'll have the room for this.

                            There's lots of things that make this a standout guitar. For instance, it uses a different finish to make the wood resonance come through more than with the typical heavily lacquered guitars. Other features include the Suhr locking tuners - probably the best locking tuners you can get, and this easily lends itself to detuning (as an example); as I normally play with 11s, I can go drop C with very little effort. The neck is one of the fastest necks I have ever tried and it uses heavier duty frets so I'm not going to damage them with heavier gauges (having to get guitars refretted is a major pain). Would you like me to continue?

                              I guess your hearing is better than mine :-\ . My other guitars detune rarely and I even rarely replace the strings as I find them still playing good enough, but again, that's all in hearing.

                                I like fresh strings - I normally change them once a month. I recently bought one of these[^], which makes it an absolute breeze; I'm done in a fraction of the time.

                                      Yes, number 7 should be arriving today, I hope before I leave for home. [EDIT]It arrived ! :cool: [/EDIT] Shouldn't have done it, but I could not contain myself. :sigh: On the other hand, it will be major fun. :-D For those wanting to decrypt the above. This version will be an ESP LTD MH-1000 deluxe. I have six other versions, yet only one other ESP. I didn't tell the missus ... :~
