Pretty damn nice review. Wish I had the money for one, I'd get it and kit it out with some new pickups :D

Is there an RSS feed on the site?

Yes great read. Well done.

I'll look forward to bidding on it once you've fixed the nut and upgraded the pickups. :lol:

That was sweet Ed, never thought I'd hear sound clips of a 335 through a Dual recto.

Great review, great site, enjoyed the clips. Nice work. Sounds like these guitars are the bargain of the century.

Awesome Ed!!!! The gat does not come with a case but I'm using an acoustic soft case and it fits fine. It's nice playing, what gauge strings did you go with?

What's the neck profile like? Chunky, slim, fat, fast, slow?

Very muchy likey. I like your writing style too, good amount of humour without being some silly guitar version of a Jeremy Clarkson clone and a good flow to what you put together.

Like the scoring chart too, 4 out of 5 metal fists from someone with the same stumpy pinky issue as me.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Hey you just saved 2300.00ish and if it gets a scratch or otherwise it won't cause near the stress...

Did you go with 9 s or 10's? I'm thinking of using a bendier 10 or maybe 9.5 to do easier bends....
