Off ebay! It's a lovely beast actually, a cherry red Standard. The bloke who sold it was a guitar tech, and he set it up beautifully to my stated requirements, for no extra cost. It was flawless and shiny until Mrs Squid dropped a music stand on it...
Tis a thing if beauty that rocks indeed. Makes you want to stand all ROCK when you grab hold of it (ooer)

Well, not much to choose from really. My el cheapo, black acoustic donated from a mate that was using it as a house decoration after I got a load of stuff nicked. It's a twat to play, goes out of tune when you look at it and the strings and the fretboard are so far away from each other as to be in different time zones. But, it was a lovely gift and got me back into playing again and has the advantage of, if you can make something sound ok on it, chances are it'll sound quite good on a better instrument. Plus, it's now got a white, Jimmy Page ZoSo sticker on it which looks cool.
Then my recentishly acquired gold Gibson copy which I loves and kisses just when I look at it.

part of a gig organised in the kitchen with my youngest son, abandoned after 17 secs because Mrs Elf told us to stop making that horrible noise.
Does she not understand that we are artists and she is the system

Yeah. I feel, somehow, that they look a bit nicer with a few dinks and war wounds here and there. I don't like a guitar that looks too virginal. If you catch my drift.

Yep my one has a gibson pickup as well as a tele pcikup and is chipped and bashed with lots of dirty finger nail scum worn into it's fretboard... I liked to bounce it of the floor back in the day when I was tripping out at gigs, cuz it made a nice vrOoOM SOUNd. It needs fixing up really.
A great guitar tho!
