I'm Nick, like you couldn't guess from my very imaginative username.
Joined because I've just got what I suppose could be called my first vintage guitar (Japanese I think) and what an odd beast it is. I'll post a thread about it once I can take some decent photos unless you don't mind poor mobile phone photos.
I'm looking forward to learning a lot more about the history of an instrument I love. Although I daresay the more I learn the more my wallet will hate me as I'll want to add to my already rather eccentric collection of guitars.
