I haven’t post much lately, things have been busy. Going to try and post a bit more often.

This is a picture of my guitars, got a new phone and enjoying being able to take photos of things.

Kemp 7 String Guitar - Custom Made

So I bought this today, got a pretty good deal on it. It’s a Kemp 7 string custom made by hand for the guy I bought it off. It’s only 6 months old so it’s in pristine condition and it plays beautifully, this is the first extended range guitar I’ve ever owned and even properly played but I’m really enjoying it. Kemp is fairly new luthier apparently which is why he’s fairly unknown, his guitars start at around £800 and work their way up from there. This particular guitar was £850 new (thankfully I got it for considerably less). It plays beautifully, the neck is super comfortable and I was shocked at how effortless it is to play, once I got my head round having an extra string of course. It does need a proffessional set up though, the action is ideal but there’s a fair bit of fret buzz towards the low end of strings B, E and A, and a couple of dead notes towards the high end of the neck. Other than that, it’s a wonderful instrument.
