Re: What's on your work bench?
On the bench is this Squier. Here for a tidy up, new strings and setup for a new learner/ owner. Just interested to see what you guys think the timber is. Its an Indo manufactured one and apparently the "S" in the serial means its a Special Run.

I don't know but it looks the same as an old Tokai Strat I used to own. I never got on with it but I sold it to a mate who happily gigged it for 20 years before replacing it with a Suhr.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Definitely a hardwood.

Half way through, it certainly felt that way!
