Lightning heading my way

(The guitar, not the meteorological phenomenon)

I was sniffing around these guitars late last year but for various tedious reasons was unable to go ahead, but earlier today I had a confirmation from Mr Messer that it's with the courier. It's due to land tomorrow, and if it does, I know what I'm doing tomorrow night after work. I've never played slide, and I've bought it to play fingerstyle, but I've picked up a glass and a steel slide.

You just can't beat a NGD.

My guitar is here. It’s absolutely fantastic. Perhaps I’m just getting carried away, but it somehow feels - and looks - like a really old instrument. The strings were a little heavy for me, so at Michael’s suggestion I fitted 12s. It needs no further adjustments.

I woke up this morning and went straight downstairs like a kid on Christmas Day to play it. I know I’m banging on a lot about Romeo & Juliet but being able to play it authentically is a huge delight.

I found my way to this site last year in search of a good resonator that wouldn’t empty my wallet, and my Lightning has exceeded my expectations in lots of ways. Highly recommended.

Thank you Caineiscarter, your kind words are very much appreciated.

I am pleased that you are happy with your new guitar. If it feels and looks like an old instrument, that's exactly what I strive to achieve. Job done!

Enjoy!

Shine On
Michael.
