Sounds like a good buy to me! Thanks for the info on serial numbers, Pix, have just bought a Norman ST68, which I see was made in 1998. Really nice full, rich sound to it & a pleasure to play. My Norman B18 is from 2002 & the S&P SP6 is from 2004.
The B18 is up for sale now, (£140) due to large car repair bill, but for an "entry level" guitar is not too far behind the ST68 in sound etc, and the matt finish looks much nicer!
So, did you get it, Nela?

Can't help much with this, but welcome to Chordie - it's a good place to start!

Hi gag & welcome. I see that Mickey Rooney is back in panto at the age of 88, so it's never too late!
Cheers!

Thanks Amy, lovely sentiments. Happy Christmas to you and your family.

Great thread - must make a note of some of these places, especially those with the good fishing. Just popping out, darling, will be back in a month or so!
Best place I've been - New England in the Fall. Liked Boston, too.
Cheers!

What a generous offer! Please enter me in the draw. A Happy Christmas to you & yours!!
Cheers!

Glad to hear all OK with you. What's the range of a tuba in a hurricane?!

Welcome Lightningrod and Anitasman!

Thanks for the info Pix.I need to replace the saddles on a couple of my guitars, because the high e string has worn a groove in them. I wonder if this would still happen with bone or tusq? I suppose I just measure the old saddle as accurately as possible, & order the nearest size? Or would I have to get specific ones for my Norman B18 & S&P SP6??

Am learning a couple at the moment - "You do something to me" - Paul Weller (not too difficult, but can't quite sing it & don't want to transpose or use capo), & "Tears in Heaven" - Clapton. The latter thanks to Jamplay - but pretty difficult for me, am thinking I might never get this one!
Upyerkilt - thanks for the reminder about Caledonia, will look that up. Do Sassenachs need special permission from your majesty to play this??
Cheers!

Old Doll - saw a small piece in the Times last Sunday about a company called Bundlebox. They can provide an address in the US for shipping, then ship on to anywhere else. I think that's how it works, anyhoo. Have never used them, can't endorse them etc & have no idea of cost involved!

Thanks for that Guitarpix - the first clip has been removed from Y/tube but I watched the second one & some of the other clips on there about Mr Somogyi. Don't know much about art, but that is art!
The piece about how the top & back vibrate made me think of another post where someone mentioned the John Pearse armrest - just looked this up again at www.jpstrings.com/armrest. The basic idea is to keep your arm away from the guitar top so that you are not damping the sound. Looks like something a skilled person such as yourself could make!
Cheers! (today, cider, I think)!
