Still Fresh Balls?

[dstockden]

Does anyone else still get the 'bloody hell this is good' thing when they play their balls? Ive had balls for just over 2 years now yet still when i pull each one out (ouch!) i get the same , i guess new guitar sensation?!
Ive never had it before with any other make.
Am i mad?

 

[Spudmurphy]

oh yes sir I do.
Can't remember the last time I played my Les Paul!!

Great album of course too Dave!!

I took it around OlPlayer's house last weekend and turned it up loud.
Wow, fancy having Stuart Hamm playing on there too!!

 

[dstockden]

Thanks Spud, Hopefully OLP and some other people like it too!

A shower definetly helps!

Yes. I actually sold my old JP because it was so beautiful and so amazing that I never touched it. I would play it at home, but I never once took it to jam.

I spent the following year kicking myself for selling it (although I got nearly what I payed for it due to it being the discontinued Autumn Red Rise).

I purchased a Silo almost a year ago and every time I pick it up I am amazed at its comfort and quality.

Played my Bongo and My Dargie AL today and they both smell new

Thought I play them on regular basis for rehearsal and concert, I love that smell

I always have my Candy Red Luke I'm amazed at. It's like an old companion that never fails me and sounds oh, so sweet. It's funny you mention this thread because just this morning as I was practicing with my Luke, I started thinking that this was the be all and end all guitar for me (despite all the G.A.S. we all go through).

amen to that mate

My JP is still like new. I keep it in its case when I'm not playing it, so it still has that new feeling and smell every time I open the case. I especially get the feeling after I clean it off and use some EB fretboard conditioner on the neck. The color is still absolutely stunning so I usually end up staring at it for a few minutes before I even start to play it haha.

 

[dstockden]

I'm glad to know i'm not the only one!
My Balls are the only guitars that i use that i always keep in their cases.

i just stumbled on to the EBMM this year and I loved them so much I bought two within a month of each other. I have many other guitars but I love my Balls so much i am going to put the others back in their cases.

Everytime that I play my 20th I'm blown away by it.

Shame I can only play 3 chords and one scale!

 

[colinboy]

i get that feeling all the time too especially since getting the 25th.

Its so damn comfortable to hold and play in my hands.

 

[GuitarHack]

Yes...I've been playing my 25th exclusively for six months now, but pulled out my Silo Special yesterday, and was re-blown away.

Some times when I leave my guitar room and my Silo catches my eye, I look at it longily and tell it how pretty it is, haha.

It'd be even prettier with a nicer pickguard

[dwells]
