Well I sort of understood the old Al Qaeda types hating the US and the UK as they were the figureheads of the Afganistan and Iraq wars.

I can't see the same would apply to france as they are always a bit wishy washy on these things.

'sacre bleu do not fly over our airspace' so it must be their africa involvement over the years.

Granted my knowledge on these matters is rather limited.
I just ordered a new Stratocaster :cloud9:

monty posted a link to the ISIS magazine a while ago that was quite interesting. There was a lengthy editorial answering this question (more generally than France, specifically). It said that they hate us and will continue to fight us not because of the Iraq war, or Palestine, or any other political reason, but because we aren't Muslim and Mohammed told them to kill us or enslave us unless we convert. They were, like, yah boo sucks, don't bother trying to be nice or make a political settlement, we're going to kill you anyway. Which seemed fair. :shrug:

France suffers particularly just because they've got loads of them, I think.

It's a Deluxe Roadhouse model. made in Mexico but tremendous value for money.

It's got the S-1 switch so I can do stuff like the mid boost Clapton uses and a whole variety of different tones. 70s headstock :cloud9:
That's my guitar buying done for now.

the reviews are most pleasing.

I just ordered a Charvel So Cal. A Japanese one from a few years back. Never owned a guitar with a whammy before.

On the other issue, France is an easy target, far too tolerant on the Allans and there's loads of the mother****ers there doing what the **** they want. I think that will have changed by June however.

Welcome to the annoying world of a Floyd Rose trem. I have one on my Kramer it's bloody nightmare. Once it's good it's stays in tune for ages. Though the first time I used it. it took a whole weekend to sort it out. I was looking at Charvels recently too they look great. though my Kramer 84 does the trick for that stuff I am crap dive bombs and stuff anyway :hehe:

:-) I got my new les paul junior a few weeks ago. I love it.

:-) I need to up my game. when I record a vid I play crap.

I've thinned out the guitars I do not want anymore and now am assembling a collection I am very happy with.
I have my Les Paul Studio, Les Paul Junior, Kramer and now the strat.
that covers everything apart from a space for a telecaster....

and perhaps an SG, Custom shop Les Paul, a vintage 1950s les paul junior double cut, one of those guitars that's like double guitars.

good point. and I have clearly omitted a Gretsch.

with all this gear I really should have a decent amp. But where I live makes this impossible.

I also confuse my wife.
Clearly selling an epiphone guitar should not cover the cost of a new Gibson arrival :hehe:

:hehe: Yeah that's certainly sucked the glamour out of it, I had visions of you sitting around a table, drinking and smoking stuff and talking music...

There are other factors such as the legacy of Algeria and the French tendency to demand conformity to French identity and norms (which tends to lead to flashpoints with Allans), but yes, it's mostly because there's shedloads of them, they're ghettoised and they have open borders over which weapons and people can easily travel.

Your collection has a glaring and quite unacceptable omission. Where is your 355? Every axeman must have his Lucille!

You are dead right Mr Chapman.

Haven't decided what colour I would like. Perhaps a read ES 335 like Clapton had in Cream.

And I want a vintage acoustic guitar but I am not very good acoustically.
hard to hide my weaknesses on an acoustic.

If I had a couple of K's to spare i'd have a blond one. Used to see this fella a lot in the couple of years leading up to his untimely and somewhat grisly end. He was a monster guitarist and always played a blond 355. He also favoured your Les Paul Junior in his rock star days.

Check this out Fash. Wait til he about half way through "30 Days in the Hole", about 3.30, when he manages to inject "Mr Pitiful" into the song and goes on a rythym chopping spree that will have you weeping at your own ability :nod:

Steve Marriott?
Les Paul juniors are amazing there is just something about the tone you get from a simple design one P90 guitar.

I am pretty crap at guitar really. I reached the point where I don't know where to go next.

Yes, ''We are not fighting so that you will offer us something; we are fighting to eliminate you.'' As our old friend Hussein Massawi put it.

As you say, fair enough, as an opening gambit. I'm sure I've made similar recommendations to Amex and Mastercard, for example, regarding their criminally lunatic ideas about allowing wives with teenaged daughters to operate credit card facilities in their own names.

Perfectly sensible and prudent, under the circumstances.

Right. France seems to be fine, except for the ongoing presence of the French. Nobody seems to like 'em.

It's always that feeling that one should be grateful which causes one to want to bite back. Bite the hand that feeds 'em! The French generously permitted the "Allans" to grow amongst them, and all they got was a lousy t-shirt!
