Timespanner has a history in parts one and two . Interesting. I see the same photo in part one link but of a much lower resolution. I ll ...

I’m more concerned about the fact that someone has strung it with the same gauge string at every position.
Strung with 46 in every position, tuned to drop A :wink:

You didn't pick on 'there's plenty guitars'.

I know this is the forum but you see it also in many media communications. Ffs, what's wrong with knowing your plural verbs... and using them when it is your job...

Re: Cheap is 'GOOOOOD'

You joined the wrong forum!

How does this sound: (Quote about a certain offset) playability is ubercool, the neck is a little more thick than av65 (1 mm more or less), the sound is more jazzmaster t...
