    ive just been saving up and i deposited £60 in my bank today but the price also went up today. i have to deposit an extra £5 now because there is not enough money in my bank (£62). i'm very gutted. all the guitars, black, blue and red are the same price. any ideas what to do? i'm hoping because the red is in stock and has loads, they'll lower the price for that soon.

    either wait til it goes down - eBuyer seem to have a yo yo
    OR
    Wait til someone here wants to sell theirs for less than £40 :rotfl:

    Ebuyer will have seen from the hits tracker that they got a lot of trafic from this forum and they made a lot of sales on that item because of it, they will be fully aware of this thread.......so, if everyone stops clicking the link, and posts about really wanting the guitar but not at that price, sales will go down and they might lower the price again :D

    hi, still loving the guitar. anybody know how I can hook it upto my pc? do I simply run a lead from the guitar to the laptop, or does it need to go through an amp first? bit confused. :confused:

    I can play my guitar through my home PC which has an Audigy 2 Platinum soundcard. It already has the correct sockets for a standard guitar lead.

    Have never tried it with a laptop. You would need to buy a plug converter so a guitar cable would fit the 3.5mm socket

    You could check your mic input is not on mute, but
    I think you probably will need a pre-amp for a standard soundcard.

    You will need to use the Line-Input of your soundcard and not the Mic Input.
