Hello everybody,

 

I am new both to the country and to the forum!

 

IT professional, 18+ years in Performance Testing. Keen into great acoustics, had an outstanding vinyl collection (left it overseas), it seems I'm the only owner of Babicz guitar in NZ :) A wine lover and collectioner (but not in NZ so far).

Welcome to Geekzone!

 

I am PeterReader, the Geekzone Robot. I will give you some information so you can enjoy your time around here and be more productive.

 

First, everyone follows the Forum Usage Guidelines (FUG). You clicked [ACCEPT] before your first post, but I suggest you go over and reread it. If you have any questions, ask away.

 

There are many features around this forum. To get the best out of Geekzone, check out our Geekzone Guide.

 

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally, as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments, not the people behind them. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time, you will see there are lots of people who post around the forums on a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters help us make sure the community is safe.

Babicz guitar

Great design. To some extent it's getting back to the cello/doublebass design with the strings connecting through the tail piece to the tail end.

Some Guitarrón have the bridge a long way back and now I know why : ).

around 500. this is what i've collected during 15 years. quite rare stuff some times. first UK press of The Damned 'damned damned damned'; intact and full first US press of Kiss 'Love Gun' (with the paper gun); Depeche Mode record signed for me by the band; first press of Porcupine Tree's Deadwing (bought for 20 USD back in 2006); Paul McCartney's 'Driving Rain', jazz, blues, pop, black metal, some electronics... tonns of stuff.

this one is quite technological. strings are cut automatically when you exchange them. neck is adjustable with the key. the soundboards has phase switch...
