Hello and welcome to the forum. Nice gear there. When you say 'new here from the UK' do you mean new to the forum and you're in the UK or new to NZ from the UK?

Kettering or corby
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Great arsenal you have there. Love the SG. Interesting it has the big guard on there being a '65? I thought that guard didn't come along until '66?
