Finally, what about the DIVO.
Well, to date he has NO guitar. (in case you're wondering, NO is not a brand name.)
He plays Alex's old Esteve guitar - which only recently has been 'relieved' of its brownish bass strings - during our rehearsals. As for performances, he'd usually borrow Adrian's Alhambra guitar.
For years he has claimed that it is just due to the "lack of opportunity" of finding his ideal guitar, so he wouldnt settle for anything else. And when asked about what his ideal guitar should be, he mentioned things like '7 string', 'must feel heavy', etc.
* for more information, refer to Ivan's entry on these "pre-requisites".
But FINALLY, I managed to nail the instrument down, and made him commit to it. We are now awaiting the arrival of the 7-string guitar, scheduled to come sometime in July this year. Will provide more update then.
p.s. guess who made all the inquiries, through phone calls, SMSes, etc regarding the guitar? Certainly not Liang Shan himself... Now you know why we call him DIVO.
