Mike Brooks Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Just got this back from Bernie, purchased 14 months ago from Gwillym on this very forum. Was originally a chocolate brown which was nice but frankly this is much more the ticket.....must get round to taking some new pics of the whole collection....

GreeneKing Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I like the original finish too, more subtle/understated perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phsycoandy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hope I get a chance to play a Rumour when I pick up my new Spitfire next week, looks superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brooks Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Been following your threads regarding your new Spitfire purchase. Did you not try a Rumour before plumping for the Spitfire? It took me several weeks to decide which worked better for me, regarding the body shape, headstock, balance and overall feel. Which explains why I now have 2 Rumours (4&5).

phsycoandy Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I havent tried a Rumour, but prefer the more traditional shape of the Spitfire at the moment, perhaps next time, same electronics arnt they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brooks Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yep, same electronics, there was a period years ago where the Spitfires had different electronics but that's not the case anymore. Enjoy the new purchase!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
