About Me

Hi, My name is Pete, I play guitar, and at the moment, I am learning how to repair them, also dealing in buying and trading old vintage guitars, not so much the Gibsons, but the old stunning guitars like the Greco's,Burnys,Tokai,and other japanese guitars, ones often referred to as lawsuit guitars, due to the famous case Gibson brought against some Japanese manufacturers as they were making high quality guitars at a fraction of the Gibson prices, and many argue they were better than the real thing.Currently I have an old 1970's GRECO, a great sounding Eros, thats probably 1968-72 and is believed to be made by the EKO company, it has great reviews from owners on Harmony central.

Movies:

Always tough for me, as many films do not leave a mark although I like them a lot at the time, Train spotting and that type of movie, that are not big on special effects but strong on plot and are acted well are my favorites, I get bored with all this CGI stuff,and chase scenes,although I am a sucker for the daft comedy movies like Dodgeball,

Scrubs,Bones,jools holland,Jonathan Ross,QI, the mighty boosh

Books:

ah I like this section more, The Dice man by Luck Rhinehart,1984,on the road,fear and loathing,Dorian grey,the dharma bums,High fidelity.
