The first cut is the deepest - Rod Stewart

I have a couple of these stands for which I paid twice the price. For 22 quid they’re a bargain. I would say that without gig bags, they’re better as 5 guitar stands leaving a space between but still a deal!

You know my name (look up the number) - Beatles

It’s too late - Carole King

It’s four in the morning - Faron Young

Thorn in my side - Eurythmics

The Boy from New York City - Darts

Need your love so bad - Fleetwood Mac

Make sure you buy the JF324H set as opposed to the standard JF324. The standard set has a oversized E string which isn’t balanced with the others. Also, you won’t get the standard set through the tuners!

Life in the fast lane - Eagles

The winner takes it all - ABBA

Shhhhh…. Whisper it…. TI Jazz Rounds

Problem is that you need medium scale and they need to have a thin enough leader to go through the tiny tuner post holes so that rules out 90% of flats straight away. You’re pretty much restricted to the Hofner-specific varieties from the like of Thomastik or LaBella or Pyramid. Of these, Thomastik are the only ones which don’t feature the “dead” E string sound so they get my vote. If price is an issue then you’re probably going to be best with Hofner Contemporary flats. I’ve not tried them but they’re the flats version of what your new HCT is supplied with. Have fun!

Shaft - Issac Haynes

The turn of a friendly card - Alan Parsons Project
