F-16 Falcon (DVD)

Advantages: An excellent film, a joy to watch
Disadvantages: Should be shown at a decent time on TV

...I was lucky enough this Christmas to receive "The Maltese Falcon" on DVD as a present from my loving girlfriend. She knows my thoughts about this classic film and decided it was time that I had a copy of my own. I am a very lucky boy. "The Maltese Falcon" is adapted from the novel by Dashiell Hammett, which I must admit I've never read but it's considered to be a classic.

...of the guitar market, and one that Falcon has really made their mark on with these guitars (they are also available in other colours should you wish). In fact, I can't think of anyone better at the moment in this part of the market! I would currently recommend Falcon above anything else out there. Prices range from between £39-00 and £69-00 from various dealerships. I paid £39-00 for mine from a local independent guitar shop I use. It is well worth hunting about for the right deal because there is such a variation in price range out there - but watch your possible shipping costs if you order online.
