What Guitar?

[nick crisp]

Stick with what u know and like Nick. Just get it set up sweet and PRACTICE......a shit guitar in a good players hands will sound much better than a good guitar with a shit player....not sayin your shit cos I've  heard u play but just rusty.....just be sure ur gonna use it and GET TO WORK!!!

I've just quit my job today so I've now got loads of time on my hands, and had already started picking up the acoustic again - even put a new set of strings on it  :eek  :lol
I don't feel the need to be a great guitarist - I couldn't get past the last plateau I reached, but it's just for home playing so not too bothered. Unless I can find some stimulation to take me beyond what I've been doing before now, I doubt there'll be much improvement on the best I reached before I gave up, but that's ok. Mind you, I hadn't heard any Joe Bonamassa back then, and that man has loads of ideas I like 

I once tried a Washburn Mick; a G2V I think it was. Bought it as a kind of beginner thing way back, but got to hate the Floyd Rose on it - I don't really like trems, being a bit of a blues nut and a firm believer in learning proper finger vibrato etc - aren't Ibanez kinda in that same bracket? Another idea I've had suggested is to get a cheap Strat copy, and use one of these Line 6 amps to sample sounds that I like - bruv uses one to gig with and swears by it. So all I'd need then is any comfortable guitar with half decent hardware and a good finish?
