It’s got strong strat on acid vibes.

If Salvador Dali designed a guitar.

In a fixed gear cyclists of the guitar world kind of way?

A fair point, but also not difficult to work with the person doing the set up to at least understand and incorporate the basics of your preferences. When I bought my BC Rich Gunslinger in the UK, it had a basic shop set up and the QC on the old Korean BC Rich guitars was pretty good, but the guitar ...

The good thing about the front and the back is they are on different sides of the guitar, so very few people would ever notice.

Love the colour as well.

What is everyone's favourite super glue? Of the easily available ones I quite like the Loctite liquid ones, although have had some Zap CA glue from a model shop years ago that was a great performer. The stuff from the $2 shop that comes in the plastic bottles (not the tubes). It works as well as an...

What doesn't come across in the vid is the ridiculous bottom end that amp has, especially when I played my C tuned guitar through it. I've never heard anything else give that amount of low end thump while still staying clear and articulate.

How did I not know about Matman's $400 Gibson score? :crazy: :D Tbf I don't think I posted about it (I wasn't on the forum very much last year). Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I got it. It's pretty awesome - sounds amazing and covers so many bases soundwise. I think there were a few "what th...

Just how we start! Anyone know someone that self relic'd? Yes, but I prefer to think that I've aged well for a man in his 50's, rather than looking like a relic. A life (well) lived is natural wear & tear - good for you DM! Clothes, tattoos & piercings are bling! Filing your elbows, cutting...

Oooo Fender HM strat and an Adrian Smith Jackson, two guitars I'd love to own! If we're doing "strats" I guess I can add this thing. Ibanez RG440, I've owned it since I was 14, so not that far from 40 years. A Trigger's Broom though, only the body, scratch plate, tuners and knobs are origi...

I will in London on that day. I am currently feverishly trying to figure out if there's any possible way I can make it, but it may not be possible. There is no try, only do. Wheels are in motion, we'll see from here but early signs are positive. Just drop into any conversations that you will be goi...

Holy fuck indeed!

there are not many people in NZ who can make a living from refinishing guitars. It is very time-consuming and I expect that most folks would not be willing to pay what it costs to do the work. I have a memory* of Adrian/Ash calling time on his refinishing work because there just wasn't any way to m...

Not often I get the chance to post in the offset chat. I quite like it.

Good for playing classic Nicaraguan surf music?

(10 points if you get there reference without googling).
