I've been reading this forum for about a year now and finally decided to register.

I broke my wrist a few years ago and haven't played much since. But now seems like a good time to start again. ?

Playing guitar is good rehab, you should never have stopped ?

It's a great time to start. Love the profile pic. Tell us what you're into, what gear you're using/planning on using, and all that good stuff.

ok... I play Blues / Jazzy styles to classic rock.

The kit I'm sitting with now is a Marshall fx30 as a practice amp a Cort M200 Walnut satin finish. and a couple of acoustics.

I want to upgrade the Cort (pups and pots); or sell her and get something slightly better 2nd hand. What do you think?

It's really a buyer's market at the moment. Great time to buy a second hand guitar in SA.

What kind of guitar are you looking for?

That Cort M series are all double humbucker guitars with a gibson flavour, right? They sound like really decent guitars. Tonedef just got a beautiful M600. We have this budget pickup upgrade option in SA now - tonerider. People are raving about how good they sound, and what an improvement they are from stock pickups on most Asian guitars. And at such good prices. Thing is, you can always put those in to upgrade your current guitar, and then keep them for the next guitar if you decide to sell it and get another.

There are some amazing bargains out there and some great new gear if you want to spend a little more.

Welcome to the forum!
Have fun!

By now that wrist should be healed and ready for some guitar action!

I'm not sure about the my next guitar, as you say - There are bargains out there.

I don't know if my regular music man stocks Tonerider but he did mention EMG, Duncan. also 'Mighty Mite Motherbucker' but from what i read there seems to be some buzz issues.

Despite the laws of physics, WELCOME!!!!!

thats why there is www.tonerider.co.za ?
