NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

The rare times I've been on K road I've popped in to the shop. When asked the price of an item in there Eds reply was usually 'what do you think it's worth?' I have no idea how he stays in business. The impression I got from some of his friends is that he doesn't actually need to be in business. Oo...

The rare times I've been on K road I've popped in to the shop. When asked the price of an item in there Eds reply was usually 'what do you think it's worth?' I have no idea how he stays in business. I bought and sold a bunch of stuff with him back when he was in Takapuna. He seemed to have an easier...

Your honey trap for homeless people for your bum fights video series has been uncovered finally I see! Wasn't that how we first met? Or was it that necro porn shoot we did together? The band I'm currently in practices at the drummers house. He's 40, lives alone and has that whole overflowing ashtra...

I leave them on. Helps stop me from palm muting and accidentally playing teh brootz on my vintage strat.

So then what do you use for an ashtray?

This is the one next to my bed that has unwashed stained yellow sheets.

Apart from being able to fit a bigger logo on, is there any actual point to having a larger headstock? That was pretty much the reason for them. The black script shows up better on TV too. I've always liked them. My formative guitar years were the early 90s. I liked 'vintage' guitars back then and ...

Beautiful. Very jealous!

Not a Strat but this is currently on Vintage guitars and gear NZ on FB. They're a bit of a cool kid indie guitar and they apparently sell at about 4K USD so this could be some pretty sharp buying.

I've owned a 76 and a 79 during my time and all the negative comments above completely relate to those two guitars.

Nice job there man!

I bought the Thunderbolt on pre order through Ryan back in the day. Mines got the serial number 000090! It's a really simple amp and it can stay clean well up the volume scale but saturates nicely higher up.

How did you do the checking, heat then freeze spray?

About a month after the last coat I chucked it into the freezer for about 24 hours. I then attacked it with a hair dryer.

Almost finished putting this together for a friend. Lightweight alder body sprayed in black nitrocellulose and then given hairline cracks all over, Fralin pickups 2 x Danelectro style lipsticks and 1 PAF style humbucker. Looks awesome man. What brand is the nitro? I need to track some down at some ...
