The red 'baby' in HERE!

Well, I believe I am not the only one who pampered myself with a new instrument at the end of the year. Now come to think of it, all my band members are getting new instruments. Bassist got himself a new LTD bass, keyboardist (also the 2nd author of this blog) got himself a new synthesizer. The vocalist will be getting something as well. Oh well, anyway this is what I've gotten myself for. Not going to talk much about its goodness today. I will leave it for another day!


This is the discontinued UNO Standard. I bought this from Subversion. As usual, I have faith in him and that he takes very good care of all his instruments and he will never sell any faulty instrument. So I didn't even bother to try it out before getting it. But I do know what to expect from a UNO Standard since I'd tried it countless times at SV before it was sold. 
When I show this to my friend, she said it's just like my Fernandes. =/ Oh well, she is not entirely wrong actually. Both are red and comes with a quilted top. I just like quilted tops and red colour. For UNO Standard, the matching headstock and the binding is what makes it more sexy. 
Now, my Christmas is complete. New guitar, new pedal and more to come! I am definitely a happy boy!
The above is the gig bag that comes along with the UNO Standard. It is a very well-padded bag for a complementary gig bag. However, I will still be getting a hard case since it will probably be traveling with me to Myanmar.
Lastly, I got a matching guitar strap. I find the velvet-like material for the strap rather attractive. And it goes well with the quilted top! Now, I will have to think of a name for it.

UNO: T-May

I think I finally know why UNO chose to discontinue its standard series. My guess is that it's to modify it into T-May
The red-tiger looks just like the standard. I can't say if the body dimension and the neck are the same as the standard (UNO Standard has a thinner neck and body dimension) but it looks almost the same. 
The main difference between T-May and Standard would be the manufacturer's inclusion of the original Floyd Rose. Fans of double-locking bridges and tremolos will find this attractive. For me, I still prefer the Tune-O-matic bridge. I'll be getting Standard instead.
