Pea Turgh

Bought mine from the first owner.  I have never noticed that my tuners aren’t flush!  They look like yours (OP).

I had raised pole pieces under the A string but they did my head in so I swapped them for Toneriders.  Also put a Kiogon loom in.  I can’t remember if the original wiring was cloth covered or not. Original plate, loom & pickups buried in a box somewhere.

Weight for mine is 3.9 kgs.

Ooh, minty.  Noice.

You could do, but I would get the hacksaw out and keep the pups as-is.  Different, innit.

Here’s something Fendery with a two & a four underneath (off Pinterest).   Mmmm, nice!

Nice one @chyc!

If I had loads of space/time/money, I’d do a pair of the MK3’s with a medium dark stain and use them as a monster of a hifi between gigs 😂

The Four10 is 8 ohm.  Pity, as that would look the nuts.  A Two10 is switchable 12 or 4 ohms, so that would work, but won’t look as cool as the Four.

Suppose you could put the Two10 on top of the amp flight case, then the amp on top of that? 😂

That’s a lovely looking rig 👍

This thread makes me want a headless Talman, too! 😂

You’ve got a good eye for a restoration, Andy 👍

The tuning bridge always seems a bit exposed on conversions, like it could easily get bashed hanging off the back of the body.

I had a Hohner Jack headless (damn, why did I sell that again?) that had  strap buttons either side of the tuners, so you could still lean it up against an amp etc.

Could be this

Yep!  I got confuzzled 😂

I’m pretty sure someone did a headless conversion on a Talman here.  Lemme see if I can find it…

Edit:   Nope!  I can’t 😂. Anyone else remember it, or am I making things up again?

There was one in the classifieds here…

Not the weekend as such, but just got in from a rare outing.  Took a Zoom pedal for a little HPF & compression.  No idea what it sounded like 🤪

That green one isn't listed on Ashdown's website. 

The do a P, a J (in long and short scale), a non reverse T Bird type and The Saint (as per this thread but 34").

As these new ones are being released in April, and they do a long and short J, I'm plumping for these will be shortscale. 

The Saints are all PJ and they don't list a green option so that green one must be a one off or another prototype. 

 

Hopefully they’ll sell it for £299 and I’ll buy it🤞🏻(or maybe @Ashdown Engineeringwill give me first dibs because they are so nice!)

Woof

£299 seems like a very good deal.  Too damn close to Christmas for me though!

Absolutely love the sage green shorty I saw on Instagram.

Oh, stinky poo!  That’s a mess!  Lake Placid Blue it is! 

Not much, I guess.  Does it matter though?

No info, sorry.  That blue one is rather fetching though.

If you refinished, it would be like a NBD.  LPB would look nice with the maple. Or Olly white with a minty guard.

Soo coool!  Always wanted one of these. 

I think @Beedsterdid a goodn a while ago. 

Makes me think of this..

What is this 'vhs' of which you speak?

Maybe a Hi8 (VHS slot would be too wide)

I like the feature set, and the price is great. Just can’t get past the fact that it looks like a VHS player.
