Must be a mistake.

Because there’s no 10 next to the serial number. And that would be silly.

I think the 16 has been mistaken for a 10, which is usually in the top right corner.

I always have gas for another guitar as the perfect number is what you have plus one more!

I gassed hard for a guitar on sale at the RS
tried it and thought it was much like the one that sits unloved in its case.
I used the unloved one the other night
and
loved it!
slight gas for that thing at the RS is still noticeable but controllable
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.

On the lookout for a Jazzmaster, MIJ/MIA, preferably with mastery bridge and in a funky colour. If I find something that fits the bill I'll fund it by selling my J Mascis JM.

Other than that, vaguely looking for a bog standard MIJ tele. Nothing has quite piqued my interest yet, despite there being a few popping up. I'll know it when I see it :)

Thats the way it goes sometimes eh... I gassed hard for a gary moore LP 14 years ago, tried it out and didn't like it. Neck was too fat. God I'd love one now ;)

Except the Vintage version was just as good and a lot less cash :D
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Recently read something in which Peter Green described the Greeny/Moore Les Paul as a "clumsy old fuddy duddy of a guitar". Apparently he never really liked it and never missed it.

That our Icons could be brought to this! :shock:
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.

Shame that it ended up with that Kirk Hammet (sp?) guy. Gets my vote as the fourth best guitar player in his band.

yeah, its now not the greeny/moorey/guitarcentrey LP but the greeny/moorey/guitarcentreyjhammety LP.... may have missed a step or two after GM, by frankly by that point I'd lost interest.

wouldn't say no obviously.

A McCarty or CU22 will be next I reckon. Where did The Hulk end up anyway? That was cool.
Loving it so far
