There are some elements on that guitar that i really like!
Nice...alternatively, just buy my Supersonic (the amp in the demo), it will make your guitar sound like that :-)

As I’m away for a few days and didn’t bring a guitar with me, a nice little parlour or 12 fretter would be just the ticket. Any recommendations? That or I’d like a J-45 ;)

I played a really nice 12-fret last month, first time I ever picked up a 12-fret. It was a Taylor, with mahogany top. May have been all mahogany too. Damn it was nice! Quite zingy for a mahogany. Sorry, can't tell you the model... my cold-addled brain couldn't remember. Played an Ibanez 12-fret in Musicworks last week while waiting to be picked up. It was a worn finish thermo-whatsit wood. Damn it was bright! I think it had no mids whatsoever, if that's the right term.

Folks around here seem to swear by the Taylor Mini though. Ever tried one of those?

Haven’t tried a Taylor guitar at all I don’t think. The mini could be the way to go... After Xmas of course, I’ve used up all my good boy points for a little while yet!

Boss Fuzz pedal. I'll have to have a look at some reviews. I've never been a fuzz fan - but I used someone's gear last week and the Boss Fuzz was really good. If anyone has one not being used, or to trade for something I have for sale let me know.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

The FZ-2? I don't think the new FZ-5 is as good, theres a Behringer alternative if you don't mind the plastic :)

No it was the FZ-5 I'm pretty sure. It was a crowded soundscape (jamming along to full tracks) and may not have been as good as I thought (it was a work do). I just really enjoyed the sustain and easy controllable feedback.

Might have to take you up on the Ashton in the new year if it’s still around. Decent player?

Sorry - not for sale...was just showing the options I found when looking for a small bodied guitar. :oops:
