Hello All,
I've finally got around to joining the G&LDP. I've been a 'lurker' here for a long time, but have now signed up as a member - if only to be able to change the default colour scheme from that vile green text on a black background. Sorry to whoever created that colour scheme. I much prefer this silvery / light blue colour scheme. Much easier on my old man's eyes.
I've updated the Registry too to list my two G&Ls; a Legacy HB USA in natural gloss with a tortoiseshell pickguard, and an ASAT SD USA in blueburst. Both are truly beautiful guitars and my prized possessions. I ordered the Legacy as a 'new-build' for myself via a dealer in Plymouth (England). The ASAT was bought 'off-the-peg' from the same dealer.
I'm in the United Kingdom. I hope you have a good number of members from the United Kingdom? I used to have a Fender MIM Stratocaster (in Chrome Red), but sold that on when I 'discovered' G&L.
Well, that's me for now.

Welcome Bill. Good to see more members from the UK. I relate to the old eyes thing. I am peering at this through bifocals. Have a great day--- Darwin.

Welcome to the forum Bill. Now, beyond a sax player and piano player, I know a guitar player named Bill Evans
Oh, there is an unwritten rule here. Without pictures, guitars do not exist!

Bill, welcome to the community. I've never been to Shrewsbury, but I dated a cute little blonde in high school whose last name was Shrewsbury.

Hello All,
I signed up 8th October and now see that 55 new members have joined since then! That's approx. 18 per week. At this rate, maybe we'll have 850 by Christmas?
Let's all try to recruit a couple of new members each and try for the 1,000 figure early in 2011?

Re: Hello from Shrewsbury, England, UK...
I have been thinking about setting up a UK-G&L fansite for sometime now. Current work demands prevent this at the moment - but it would be cool to have a UK-based collective of G&L fans.BillEvans1956 wrote:Indeed! The UK has a growing number of G&L devotees. Happy days!!!
