About guitarnerd.com.au
Hi, my name is Tony. I’m a graphic designer by trade and also play bass in Brisbane band Sixfthick and guitar in Horrortones & Battlecat… and I’m a guitarnerd.
guitarnerd.com.au is a site that delves into the nerdom of guitars and why people like us are obsessed with them. Every guitar has a story and with this blog I try to uncover them.
If you are someone who can’t walk past a pawn brokers without breaking into a cold sweat and looking inside just in case there’s a rare vintage guitar that the owner has seriously under priced, then this site is for you.
Feel free to contact me at [email protected] with stories of your own axes and I’ll try and include them here.
Hi there one and all.
My names Don and I live about 6hrs drive west of good old Brissie.
I need to confess that I’m with Tony on this one. I can’t walk past a pawn shop withoput going in for a look around. They tell me it’s a thing called GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome). You would be shocked by some of the things you find inside. Anything from butchered beauts to outright classics.
I have a fetish for MIJ guitars. Present count is around 40. Aria, Aria Pro II, Yamaha and a dozen or so Vantage. There is a dedicated group of us scattered around the globe that are all in the same boat. MIJ and all out of the one factory apart from the Yamaha’ (long live uncle Mat). I’ll drop back from time to time and see how things are going.
Great site and I hope it takes off for you (lots of hard work but well worth it)
Anyway that’s enough dribble from me.
Catch you all later.
