Hi folks . Up in Scotland Not a complete guitar noob used to have a Yamaha Pacifica when I was about 17 , sold it after a couple of years to fund a set of decks and hadn't touched a guitar since until last week .
The father in-law invited me up to his man cave where he has amassed a collection of nice guitars over lockdown . A 60s Gibson Les Paul that someone gave him , an American Stratocaster , a fender bass to go with the squire strat he already had . I asked for a shot he says any 1 but the Gibson .
I grab the fender strat and even though I can't play for shit just holding this fender and strumming it was a thrill and now I want my own guitar . The plan is to make myself a replica of Syd Barretts mirrored esquire but the budget is quite small do it won't be a real 62 esquire that's for sure . Any suggestions welcome . Thanks . Scott
