Thanks for this. I tend to play mostly with my thumb nowadays, but I'll pay attention to the angle.

Freedy Johnston, 'Trouble Tree'.

Thanks. It's maybe a little bit worse, but nothing major.

Sisko Electrofanatik, 'My Realm'

I think it might do both, depending on how tight the winding is. And, good question!

Lowering the pitch seems weird... surely you'd be shortening the effective length of the string? That ought to raise the pitch, surely? The pitch wavering makes sense, because the free-floating solder coil would move and that would change the string length. Did it change the tone of the note? I think it might make it softer, more fretless-ish?

Chris has another feedback thread here:

Chris sold me some strings. All went well and I'm a happy bunny. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Chris

Talking Heads, 'Remain In Light'. Richard and Linda Thompson, 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight'. I keep thinking I've forgotten one (or a dozen) but if I've forgotten them...

Crying out for a defret... I may have to bid on that.

Snakefarm, 'St James'.

Angelique Kidjo, 'Celia'.

Not in Britain at the moment... human waste floating by is routine, just now.

Sean sold me some pickups. Haven't had the chance to actually wire them up yet, but everything else about the transaction was flawless - quick, uncomplicated, well packed, let me know when they'd been sent. Nice one

Nor me. Good catch on 'international', that hadn't occurred to me. Agree, not Peavey. The headstock shape looks unaltered, so I'm guessing one of the many unsuccessful not-quite-a-Fender-of-course-it's-not-a-copy manufacturers.

I would like to set the Sort By option on the individual subforums (Off Topic, Bas Guitars, etc.) so that I don't need to change the sort criterion every time I come to the site. Obviously this is not an earth-shattering problem, but it would be handy if there was an option to do this.

What does the gold lettering say? Something 'professional', I think?

Overpriced by somewhere about 200%, IMO.
