Possibly My Next Guitar....

So i was looking around a few guitar websites today and decided to look at some PRS (Paul Reed Smith). Now these range of guitar are very expensive, and the average retail is in the £1000 to £3000 region... yikes!

However, a new model has literary just shipped in the PRS SE range at a price of £799, and the best part is that it ticks all the right boxes that i've been looking for in a new guitar:

  • Floyd Rose Tremolo
  • Easy to reach 24 Frets
  • EMG Active Pick-Ups
  • Thru-Neck (Not fussed about this, but still cool!)

I have yet to try the guitar, but everything it has seems to be what i'm looking for. There's 2 finishes to the guitar, Black Cherry and Grey Black... but still dunno which to choose... any help on which to get?

Black Cherry:

Grey Black:

Also, do you like the guitar? Thanks everyone!

Recent Purchase!

It's not a game, however it's a CD.. or rather an EP. Anyway here it is... anyone know what it is?!:P

Sadly it's the 2001 re-issue rather than the 1999 original. But still it's just about as rare since the re-issue was very limited too.

Listen To A Sample Of My Song!

I've been mucking around a bit with my guitar and music editing rig lately, and i've currently setup an intro to a song i'll most likely build & work on if the feedback is good and constructive.

Without any further delay... listen!:

Feedback time! Did you like it? What can i add to it? What do you think needs improving?

Remember this is a demo so far, it will change!:) Thanks in advance!

Red Dead Redemption Platinum

Yep, you heard it! Yesterday evening i managed to get the Platinum Trophy in Red Dead Redemption! It took a bit of time to get, but it's do-able!:D

It was good fun getting all the trophies and completing everything around the game. I got the online trophies out the way first when i got the game before going into singleplayer.

But overall i thoroughly enjoyed this game and recommend to anyone even if you dislike GTA!

Red Dead Redemption Online Update!

So i've been playing Red Dead Redemption as of late and i am currently loving it, i reminds me of Burnout Paradise in the terms of the online, challenges, free-roam aspect of the game.

Anywho, here's an update to say that today i Passed Into Legend 1, which meant my mounts. challenges and weapons were reset. However i can re-earn them, along with even more unlocks!:D

I managed to have a go on the Bull which i unlocked at level 50, which was fun to ride round on! Will be fun to see how the others are!

Cya 40's... Hello Level 50's!

Just small update! But today it seems i have hit the Level 50's! After what has been over a year in the Level 40's, i am now Level 50 - Strawberry Candy... many question the name, but according to the level guide it is named after a voice command in the PS2 game "LifeLine".

I should have another update by Friday with a video blog of Red Dead Redemption!:)

On The Gaming Front!

I haven't done a gaming blog in ages have i? So here it is!

Many great things as of late, Steam was released for Mac (if you wish to add me, feel free is the same as this account), and with Steam they are giving away Portal for free! Yes FREE! So i swiped that right up! A very kind GS user also gave some users a few free games as a present, so thank you very much too (once again!):)

On Wednesday i got Braid on PSN, and completed it the same day. Absolutley loved it!:D

I also pre-ordered the Red Dead Redemption Limited Edition today for a bargin price of £42!

So that's a small update on the gaming front!:D
