I almost locked myself out of my work computer because where i was meant to type my name, i just typed "Stevie K" twice, thanks guys I think that's a sign that Coffee is in order.... Just a thought - Do we have many people coming back to the site after hiatus? Obviously we have many new members, but it's just something i thought after Jacqui came back on... I may have to track down Carlie from back in the day....

Okay Bree, you make a good point, I'm 26, I'm just a bit dramatic, hehehe! I mean, I still get asked for ID, so I can;t be THAT old! Since age 11 though, that is VERY impressive, 1992, you'd have to have been into 'em for longer than just about anyone here! Welcome all the new members and the new old members, I myself have been on and off this board for the past 5 years, but I think I've finally carved a niche here, you couldn't get a cooler or more diverse group of people . Rock on!

Hi there, It's Gary from billycorgan.info and guess what I moved to Australia! Woo. I am a provisional permanent resident living in Manly NSW. Been going great so far until an old mate rang up and said he had two spare tickets to Le Grand Rex and it was the day before. A bit too far and expensive!

Yeah I'm a big fender man myself. Dude get a strat! I'm gonna buy another guitar soon (that makes 6) I think I'll get an Ibanez, more shred edit: this is getting a bit of topic, but have you tried the second hand market or sellers Josh?, you can get older (often better) guitars, etc.
