For those of you who’ve changed the decal, how easy was it? Can someone give me the lowdown on how they did it before I attack mine? Maybe PM to avoid thread derailment.

For the last 5 years I've had cracking this as my new years resolution..... Progress is slow. Buying a Status S2 did not improve progress.

Dune Tune Level 42 (and hit me with your rhythm stick of course...)

I don't think these had anything to do with Status Graphite. I could stand corrected but the images I've seen look like standard far east produced Fender clones?

A few few more pics from last Saturday nights gig in Hull. Nice shot of the, new to me, Lionel on its second gig. Also a shot of the bar staff dancing on the bar….that’s a new one on me.

The Lionel in action last night. Still on the stock pickups but they seem to cut through nicely so I’m not looking to change any time soon as yet.

Couple o’ pics….

Great gig last night at the Service Station in Hull. The staff and crowd entered into the 70s Glam theme bigly. Bar staff dancing on the bar at the end…. Definitely will be returning in ‘25. The on stage sound was pants though, too loud and undefined (sounded great FOH though), could hardly tell what I was playing all night which led to the odd guff. Must sort out some in ears sooner rather than later.

I found the same with my CIJ Mustang, I was surprised as it was the same weight as my Mikey Way that is well balanced. Ended up selling as it irritated on long sets even with a good strap. Pity, it was a comp stripe and they’re going for silly cash now.

I'd add Status to the list. Definitely works of art, not sure on the new 'non-carbon' models but the older graphite neck/through neck S2s crop up frequently and tend to hold their value.
