Hi, My name is Scott, and I'm an addict.. It's been 2 days since I last played.. (and I really need another fix.. NOW!!)
Sorry, wrong type of intro..
I have a H-157 (black beauty type..) which pretty much fulfills a dream of being the guitar I've always wanted to own.
I've never been much good at guitar, but have always enjoyed playing. A significant influence on me was the guy who tought me guitar when I was in high-school (secondary school). He had the most awesome 70's vintage LP Black Beauty, and sometimes when he tought I had actually practiced, I'd get to play it.. . I promised myself that when I finally got decent, I'd buy myself one. Well... years later I'm still not very good, but at least now I have a nice guitar. My uncle, a much better player than I am, introduced me to The Heritage a few years back. He has a 150, and when I realized that I could essentially get the guitar I remembered playing as a teeny-bopper at a fraction of the over inflated g-word prices, I decided to go for it, and purchased my H-157.. I'm still not worthy.. but seeing as I'll never be worthy.. I figured might as well be happy
I played in band back in high-school and early college but then basically didn't play much for the next 20 years (it wasn't a very good band... BTW). After having done my back in a few years ago (apparently too much Rugby..), I've had to give up my physical type activities, and have gotten back into playing guitar, as a hobby that doesn't involve people kicking me or trying to knock me down. These days I'll play to entertain my wife, or drunken friends down at the beach, but mostly I spend playing time in my little home studio room making random noises (electric and acoustic) and generally being a guy!
