Re: What are you gassing for?

Three years after I posted this, I now have all nine "The Trip" CDs in my collection. GAS sated.

Re: NBD - Warning, Tele content....

It's my own version of the original Parsons-White B-Bender. I was going to do something a bit fancier with cables instead of levers, but the development process needed a lot more time and money than I could justify for a one or two unit production. Seems to work well, though and I doubt cables could...

Re: Where to get pickup magnets?

I get them from Mojo, I have an account too. I'm unlikely to be ordering anything from them for some time, so I'd suggest asking Ryan to get some with his next order.

Re: NGD - Radian LP Jnr

Were they the 1st Radians? Not quite, there was a strat before this batch and the first two SGs were before the two LPs. I always thought there would be demand for this kind of guitar, but in the end no-one ever ordered one and the couple I made were really hard to sell, even at a massive discount....

Re: NGD - Radian LP Jnr

There are only two Radian LPs. That one (ex-Edwards) and the one that was white, then gold, then black which now has two humbuckers (BKP Nailbombs).

The Bigsby and pickguard are someone-else's doing, but look pretty rad.

Re: Pick ups wanted.

I think I have a Kent Armstrong mini HB around here somewhere. $50 would get it to your door.

Rothko and Frost in the UK do very nice custom decals in traditional guitar styles. Just type in the words you want.

Re: What neck would you put on this?

Snakehead would be perfect. I can supply an unshaped headstock neck with a RW fretboard. The only minor problem is that it would have the curved end (like a strat neck) that wouldn't quite match up with the tele style neck pocket. That's not a big deal except for that you can see the gap if you look...

Re: NGD - Radian Korina JM

Glad you like it so much, Rhett! It's one of my favourite Radians, possibly the best overall. The specs were determined by a series of polls right here at NZG and it really is a versatile and useful combo.

Re: Fan Frets: Anybody played them?

Not much, evidently.... ;)

The idea was to let your wrist sit at a slightly more comfortable angle. No-one cared.
