D'Aquisto NYE with Bartolini floater

"...I'll get around to it before long..."

Better than "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", I guess . Kidding aside, nice playing, Rob.

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Nils. Thanks a lot. Appreciated.

Rob, congratulations on the beautiful new guitar! I actually saw and contacted the seller about that one, but he was reluctant to ship internationally. I'm glad it went to a talented forum member.

[Rob MacKillop]

Many thanks, CM9! I'll look after it for you ;-)

I know what you mean about the aesthetics, Woody. I love the fishtail truss rod cover...

I never noticed the narrowness of the neck. Seemed fine to me.

I had a couple of the smaller 15" NYE-JR's with 24-3/4 scale. The nut measured 1-11/16, but perhaps the profile was narrower than the full size model.

What a beautiful instrument. Looking at it, I came to the realization that the Peerless Monarch seems almost a direct copy of that instrument, right down to the headstock and scroll inlay. Strangely enough, it makes me feel even better about my Peerless, knowing it's a pretty decent copy of a totally amazing guitar!

[Eddie Lang]

Beautiful guitar, and I really enjoyed your playing on Stella. I look forward to hearing more. Thanks for sharing.

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Richard!

Need to get a good amp for it, good quality, but only for house playing - I don't gig.

How about a Mambo 8 wedge. I don't know if it's a problem for you but it's so small that wifes usually don't complain about having it in the living room. Good sound. Easily portable. Available "just around the corner" from you down in England - Jon Shaw who makes them is situated near Manchester. I love mine - both for its sound and practical handling.

Hi Rob,
She's a breathtaking beauty for certain and I'm sure she sounds as good as she looks !
Please tell me it's sheer coincidence that her colour resembles a fine 12 year old single malt ! !

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, it's made from aged oak barrels! Smells beautiful

You just forever redefined the term "tone wood" for me! I hope you've got a bottle of Maker's Mark or something similar nearby for the arrival of this new musical partner.

When you have a great guitar, you never play alone.

If it comes to whisky, thinking about Rob, I'd make the association with Bunnahabhain rather than Maker's Mark !


Very nice playing as usual, Rob !

Sorry to disappoint you, guys, but I'm the only Scot in the world who never touches alcohol. But I do like the smell
