Schnozzalee

Restringing was a ballache on mine, I prefer a non locking tremolo, a bigsby's movement is very slight without detuning. I didn't mind the weight, but I never notice until someone mentions it to me, balanced perfectly.

It's worth 750 quid of anyone's money

Ah, this is why Yamaha done away with the rib contour on their SG, it's supposed to add to the bass response leaving the extra wood there...I'd prefer comfort myself but each to their own!

I'm not sure it's as much of an issue on bass, but a guitar with a chunky neck, always sounds better tonally than one with a super slim.

A relic's not a relic unless they've wiped their arse up and down the back of the neck saying, "it's got that played-in feel"

G&L nicely undercut Fender, Yamaha & ESP undercut Gibson. I think this brand name thing will end, but it's just a case of when the sheep realise that quality, not price, is key to a sweet sounding/playing instrument. 300 year old shed wood, nitro paint in ltd edition colours, vandalism etc ain't worth an extra grand - the biggest joke is Custom Shop to Masterbuilt - it's still all machine cut ! I've owned 2 American Vintage Reissues, never worth more than a grand.

PRS are 25" bang on, supposed to be compromise between the two but I'm a 25.5" scale guy - less cramped! Check out the G&L Tribute Fiorano.

Hmm I dunno, that's a tough one, I like the MTD. The Friedland demo shows it has a nice even tone, like basswood does, but it also looks easier to play with perfect intonation - the individual look is a bonus. Sounds like you won't have to try before you buy either, thanks to decent quality control.

Hope you find it again mate; I'd like to find a couple of my previous guitars too - amazing how they drop off the radar like that (unless kept in the BC community!)

Just hit the thing harder with a pick

SAVE THE TREES!!!

Just wanted to query if this is possible and would be the process? Say you wanted to stick some really in your face paint on top of a Warwick Streamer or something, is it just the same? Strip and refinish? [size=4] Nah, I ain't mad! I would only consider doing it upon a really ugly natural finish - just something I've always wondered, some maple quilts are hideous etc[/size]
