The Belfast Guitar Emporium, Bradbury Place, Belfast

OK, Ill take the 52 reissue Tele in butterscotch - no! the fiesta red '62 reissue Strat - wait! a PRS McCarty is what I need - but! I've always wanted a Gretsch Duo Jet like Cliff Gallup's - mmm... cherry, SG or 335??!! :shock:

I think I need to lie down!

whoa .....

damn impressive line-up, especially with a couple of amps ready for punters to play the first 12 chords of "Smoke on the Water" for a solid hour

I haven't been up to it yet but no doubt very soon next time I'm in Belfast.

Thanks for the picture Colin

I don't see any lefties there...but I'll have a cherry ES-335 with an Orange AD-30TC, thank you! :twisted:

Excellent choice sir. Would you like them gift wrapped or will you wear them home?

I think my next guitar will be an "ES 335" - well, after an Avalon Silver Series.

8 years ago I bought a nice Seagull Semi-Acoustic but that same weekend was asked to start a band with my mates, as I was already a good drummer and a very weak guitar player I took it back (with the excuse of a buzzing fret (I feel bad, sorry David)) and bought a set of drums.

I always planned to buy myself a guitar but never got the money together, now I've returned to study, I am in final year and thanks to the blessing of a student bursery I was able to buy a beautiful Avalon AS-201CE at the almost as beautiful Belfast Guitar Emporium.

The plan goes that I practise and then practise some more and then some more and once my playing matches the beautiful sound of the guitar, I'll hopefully get a nice LPS but for now I love my AS-201CE like it was my child (of which I don't have any).

I'd have to pick the Green Gretsch or the Cherry SG shape...

damn, that's a fine guitar collection!
when i see something like this it makes me wish i lived belfast!
there are no guitar shops that even come close to this shop where i'm from...
speaking of killer guitar collections, there's people on Jemsite that post pic's with their private collections, which really make me drool!
i mean guitars worth thousands and thousands of dollars!
