Ahhh... the slippery slope claims another victim

Welcome aboard!

Thanks binky_bass; as I’ve also got a few 19th C classical / parlour guitars I quite like the headstock shape, but I have seen it described as looking like a drooping part of a gentleman’s anatomy.......🤔

It looks like a four-eyed camel

Not something I've heard of before.  Condition is interesting, but I quite like the way it's been patched up.

Antoria "Twin Caster" semi-acoustic, 1966.

Would it have to be earthed (or more likely insulated) specially?

I bought one of Carl's previous defrets, and it's thoroughly nice and well done.

I bought strings from AJ.  All went well and I would be pleased to deal with him again.

Thanks AJ!

Mike

These are nice little practice amps and sound surprisingly good, and Lawrie is a good chap to deal with

Excellent idea.  Another thread to follow

Looks like a tadpole.

 

Something a bit less vertebrate than that, I reckon.  Quite slug-like.

Interesting.  He's obviously taken some pains to get the ergonomics he likes.

Thanks Mick, I may go and have a look.

It occurs to me that some Japanese bassists might be ... slightly odd.

I suppose it would at least teach you to play it without looking at it.

Starting too late.

Not nabbing my dad's DB from his wife after he died.

I've got some underpants with holes in.

 

Not exclusively for gigging. I just live in poverty. 

All my underpants have holes in.  Makes them easier to put on.

The Rolling Scones.

The Spooges.

Eddie and the Hot Cods.

The Beagles

I bought some pickups from Paddy.  He went out of his way to get them posted quickly and all went smoothly.  I'd be pleased to deal with him again.  Thanks Paddy

Where does one buy strings for these?

I'm not one for relics, personally,. but the neck on these is nice

GLWYS!

I bought a Diago Powerstation from Chris.  Very prompt and well organised, well packaged, all good.  Thanks Chris!

Nice!  Nicely done pics, as well.  Good luck with your sale!

Now gone

If it was my ad I'd edit the title to make clear it's a fiver - that's not instantly obvious from the pics, and I'd be expecting people to think (as I did) "oh a Fender-dimensions neck will drop straight in"... could make for an unhappy buyer.

Or I could buy it myself.  Pretty, that.  Decisions, decisions
