Looking very nice there ! You are going to love your lp ! I love mine more and more everyday ! I listend to some of your bands samples ( cool band by the way 
) And since you play heavier music also youll love the way how chording stays clear and defined even under high gain.

I second that! I _think_ I have decided for a PRS-like Shamray, but my next will definitely be a Les Paul! 
There are quite a few Scandinavians with Shamrays at the moment. Hopefully I'll join you soon.

Congratulation indeed Glen, You must be absolutely ecstatic ! With any luck I'll hopefully be able to share that feeling in a few weeks when/if I get my own guitar. Can't say I'm exactly optimistic though, but we'll see...

Hi guys!
I'm back!
What can I say, I'm really satisfied with my Shamray!
It plays exactly as great as it looks...and feels so great in my hands....
I honestly didn't plug in any of my other guitars 'til very recently.....and that was just 'cause I wanted to fiddle around with a tremolo, so I played one of my Stratocasters.
But from day one I only played my GS-Custom!
So it is, and I think will always be, my main guitar...
Cheers! / Glen

Hey, Glen,
That's a very nice looking LP you have there. Another feather in Shamray's (and now your) hat.
I checked out your website and some of your tunes. You rock! Nicely done. Good luck with the guitar and the music.

Då borde du bestämma eller?
