Have you played one, acoustically? The Troubadours are cute too. Sorry about your punctures!

I played a few of them.
Every one was different.
Some quite disappointing.
But plugged into a proper amp (AER, for example ), they are just perfect.
The it works for me line isnāt really putting yourself in someone elseās shoes is it? Move the jack plug to the end of the guitar, make a flat surface where the jack plug was and youāve got a whole extra position that the guitar can be played in which is more comfortable for some people
I dont own a car so I ll probably buy an APXT 2 with an amp
Strings are definitely something i will be buying myself, and some more picks.
Another thing Im looking at that I may pick up this weekend are some Blu Ray sets of classic Doctor Who. Thatās assuming theyāre still on sale when I next get paid.

Wouldnāt a guitar cable 2 angle solve that?
My shouldnāt buy changed when I played the Martin DJR10 in the shopā¦ so I bought it. Really happy with it. Perfect size for home sofa play and sounds great. Thought I would buy the Taylor GS mini, but the frets were too tiny, didnāt like that.

Not really. A well cut edge means the guitar will basically support itself at a 45 degree angle which it wonāt with anything sticking out of a jack socket on that part of the guitar. Youāll have the weight of the guitar resting on your leg on the cable, which isnāt great even for an angled cable. It would be a really poor substitute for the Strandberg / HILS shape
Tried it today at a music store, though a different colour. I think Iām in trouble here.

Iām tempted by a red Gibson SG, itās been on my GAS wishlist for a while, was on Christmas sale and now post Christmas sale. And featured prominently in almost every video I watched during BLIM Unit 6 research for my artist essay.
I bought two guitars this year, so Iāve got sit this one out. Besides, Iāve already been informed that Iāve enough guitars already!

Iām going to be buy myself a hydration pack for my acoustic guitar. I shouldnāt need to so soon, but I was careless enough to leave on the floor when I took out of the case and stepped on in when I got up to grab another pick. It made a sickening sound and left a clear gelatenous pool on the carpet. Iāll learn not to do that again

Show pics! Before or after the purchase. 
I will. Though if I decide to get this one (who am I kidding, I already know my decision), iāll get it in a couple of month.
I found plenty of temptation in this book which I happened upon at my local public library. Iām not any kind of gearhead (like some of you here), as I only own two acoustics. Actually, I did get myself a nice upright guitar stand for Christmas, so chalk up another sale for @CATMAN62 !

Hi @mattswain
With the Strandberg, remember that the neck is an unusual twisted trapzoid and I do not remember seeing other manufacturers do that. It is really comfortable for when the thumb is ont eh back and I like the thick feel of the neck in the palm of my hand for wrapping the thumb over. I do run into the back of the neck with vibrato, so that is a little awkward.
Mine is also āchamberedā so it is pretty light. the sound is bright, but pleasing.

I have been looking at this Godin Kingpin II with P90 pickups. I do not really need it and I am also thinking that I wonāt like the heavy strings (see the bridge shift is at string 2, so I need to maintain wound string 3 for intonation). It is just so pretty and sounds nice. Probably a good thing I havenāt found one locally to sit with.

I have the same problem with that Godin. It looks so pretty.

Thanks for your comment 
Iām fairly sure Strandberg have various patents on that neck which is why itās not been copied by others. Iāve never had one in my hands but from what seen online people seem to generally say that theyāre more natural in the hands than it appears they will be.
Iām not going to buy immediately but Iād be surprised if I donāt have a headless guitar by this time next year
Back at the end of November I was really tempted by the Susan Tedeschi signature tele but controlled myself.
Iāve decided I donāt really need a new guitar till after I start Grade 3. Consolidating Grade 2 is going to take me months so by the time Iām ready for another guitar I could be drooling over something else entirely!
I didnāt get anything guitar related for Christmas, but I did get an East Top Diatonic Blues Harmonica in the Key of C. SO now I have something else I need to learn how to play.
