Gnomeson No. 1 is in India on a six month assignment for the company he works for. He did not have space to take his guitar with him so he bought a throwaway one while he is there. Funny thing is he was telling me he could not make up his mind between the Givson, like an accoustic version of the Les Paul or the Hobner - just like the huge bodied Hofners. He has gone for the Givson in the end. He said they were both crap but the price was about 10 UK pounds so what the hell - keeps his fingers in trim and he won't be giving any concerts.

He has also bought a more expensive Indian stringed instrument but he didn't say what it was. He says he will keep his eyes open for a squeezy type thing for me as well:-)

Anyone come across any other such named instruments - or anyone have any suggestions for what the lad can bring his old man back?

Cheers

Dave the Gnome
