IMG_20240428_113705.jpg Yeah, it's only a Squier. I traded a Squier Stratocaster (which I bought for $100) for this, 2020 Squier Jaguar 70s made in Indonesia. I have been hugely impressed with the quality of this guitar, when did Squiers get so good? I had a Japanese Jag in the 90s that was quite d...

Video of the Gretsch.

That's a pretty professional looking video Reg. Well done!

In the first photo, whats the sunburst guitar beside the (I think its a...) coronet? That's a Silvertone 1476 which is basically a Harmony H17 Bobkat. Oh man, thats definitely my favourite, love the shape, what are the pickups? Rowe industries silver top single coils, the American version of a gold...

20240329_121325.jpg20240329_121651.jpg I took some family photos of the Japanese and American weirdness we've got here. There's an estimated 632 attoparsecs of twang in these two photos. Way more twang actually, I calculated 1339 attoparsecs of twang :wink: (Used scale length of 0.625m) You've assu...

They're both beefy but the blue one is an absolute monster. There's no evidence of a truss rod on that one so I'd assume it only has a steel bar inside the neck. Despite that it's stayed straight in its 63+ years of life.

Just for you Strummers!

Good job! I am so looking forward to getting a Hound Dog Taylor guitar off you when you get back to NZ! But you know that already. Pity that ones not the Hound Dog colour. I've been mulling the idea of trying to build one. I've got the guitars to make templates from and I could fix all those design...

IMG_20240327_155436.jpg After only a year I've finally finished it. Refret, inlays, tuners, bridge, paint, bigsby style trem arm, Mustang style switching system. I decided to upgrade all things that are an issue with most Teisco guitars namely the frets and intonation. It plays a million times bett...

Auckland director of a large Italian financial company?

The impression I got from some of his friends is that he doesn't actually need to be in business. Oooo.... Intriguing! I know he used to have some pro looking photos of himself up on the wall behind the counter. I wonder if he wrote one absolutely awful number 1 hit ( that he'd never admit to) and ...

The rare times I've been on K road I've popped in to the shop. When asked the price of an item in there Eds reply was usually 'what do you think it's worth?' I have no idea how he stays in business.

I bought and sold a bunch of stuff with him back when he was in Takapuna. He seemed to have an easier...
