I think it was just that - a poorly executed answer to a question nobody was asking.

Debated the train to be honest, was in Edinburgh

Oh god...it’s been collected and will be here tomorrow 😬

I just seethe when I see your talent. In a polite “wish I could do that, wish I had the time!” Kind Of way. the draig should be on the Pickguard too 😏

I prefer Sunburst, love the older split saddle ones though. looks cool.

I’ve got a Korg Pitch hawk or something, got it as a freebie a couple of years ago. Thought I’d lost it but it turned up when I was looking for something else. Decent little thing - don’t even know if they still make them. Handy for my latest acquisition.

If you can imagine trying to knit a jumper while wearing mittens in the dark with a monkey bouncing on your head - you’re somewhere near how complex it was. Bearing in mind it really did seem to have a mind of it’s own and was akin to a Rubix cube with strings...and once you almost sussed it, the battery ran out.

You can imagine the look on our faces when the Gibson rep at the time (a great bloke called Nick) unveiled the Fireturd X and it’s badly designed footswitches and charging packs and spare bits and counter-intuitive control set up. We’d fought tooth and nail to be Gibson dealers, and more and more shite turned up, the Robot Guitar, Dark Fire, Dusk Tiger, Robot Explorer and so on. Then there was the “everything in the range has a hideous 120th anniversary inlay in the fingerboard” stuff which they delivered on mass in the autumn of the 120th anniversary year - meaning we still had stock a year later. The last I saw they’d put “les Paul 100” on all the headstocks. They really are an odd company. I think it got to a point where they just took money out of the company account and sent us stuff they thought we “should” have. We had to unpack stuff to check for damage as they wouldn’t accept blame if a fault was discovered more than a week after delivery - the farce of that was that we had 10+ shops so everything came via the warehouse and could be over that time before we got to see it. That then led to customers accusing us of selling ex-demo gear as we’d unpacked it. Nuts. The custom shop (R7/R8/R9/RO) Les Pauls were very special, the Memphis 335’s etc were lovely. The standard stuff was somewhat variable. The Robot stuff was crap. Anyhow, that was 4/5 years ago - as far as I’m aware, things have not improved.

Hoping they don’t. Doesn’t arrive til Thursday

They have some really useable sounds. They sound great in a band setting. i had one for about 2 years. It was an ergonomic issue for me. But an 63S or whatever they’re called withoutbthe binding an edges may suit me. just never wanted one enough to go looking.

Not quite the same thing, but... (oh and PS - the £3.3m Aston won’t be road legal...😳)

Right. Take 2. Refund sorted, Guild paid for. breathe.

Inherited two of these, I’d rather like to keep them. The foam tubing on them is tatty. has anyone found decent replacement foam, I was thinking of pipe lagging insulation stuff. might have a nip up to wickes at some point, but wondered if anyone else had ideas?

Saw the headstock off. And the body. Rickenberger.

There was a guy who was his second cousin on Stars in their Eyes years ago. He was like a stunt double...

So good!

Wow. That’s a waste. Jazzmaster hardcase ftw!

Ste it’ll be the same as the Jazzmaster bag - they fit in a jag/Jazzmaster hardcase by Hiscox

One big one is volume Second big one should clunk or click in the middle...that’s a pickup pan. Towards the bridge is for bridge pickup, towards neck the P pickup. nearest the neck (I think) is bass, middle is mid frequency, and bridge end is treble/high frequency.

Shpock does my head in - never ever hear anything, there’s zero feedback if you’ve got the price or pictures wrong. Everyones offering trades - it’s cool, I do it. But when you specify no trades it’s a pain to sift. it is quiet, people want bargains as buyers, people want decent returns on their sales as sellers.
