Hi all,

Just the obligatory introduction I suppose...

My name is David, living in Oxfordshire, England at the moment, but originally hailing from Glasgow.

Have been playing the guitar about 6 years now, just started playing with customisation and modding recently.

Currently playing an Eko 100 series electro acoustic (lovely old Italian built (60's?) model), Yamaha FG-403MS acoustic, and finally awaiting delivery of an Epiphone Special II.

I'm very much into rock and metal, but my playing style always sounds more jazzy / bluesy. That's what comes of practicing on the old Eko for the first three years of learning I guess!
 
Sure thing...

The above is the Eko - post my fiddling with it. And below is the original minus a few parts...

And finally, below is the Yamaha - giant great thing, but it makes a lovely noise.

Don't have my Epiphone yet, but I'll link an image...

Hope these pics aren't too big and don't take too long to load.
 
Welcome aboard! :beer:

I'll second that: Eko looks cool! Nice job!
 
Welcome aboard, David. I think you'll find that we're a helpful, friendly and somewhat sarcastic bunch here. Good luck with your touchpad modding!
 
Welcome to the gang. :applause

An old Eko Ranger, 12 string dread was a brief member of the family. Just last week I spotted a Eko version of a 335 in a local pawn shop. Cool guitars. :AOK
 
Greetings David - Nice to see another Scot, dude.

Used to live in that area of the world myself - Alvescot village the other side of Carterton. Now in Lincoln Area. Carluke is my "home town" and went to Glasgow University...

Welcome to the fret

Cheers for the warm welcome everyone.

The graphic on the Epiphone is a band called Family Force 5's tour logo from a recent tour - the Dance Rawr Dance tour.

If you haven't heard of them - check them out. Doesn't get much better.
