I've been thinking about a Nocaster-ish build, so if you want to let that neck go I could probably buy it back off you some time. Not currently though as the gear fund is exhausted from buying the Tokai back, and that'd leave you without a playable Tele anyway.

Nah it's great man, really nice. I'm happy to hold the neck aside for you till you're ready. Thought I might put trade feelers out in case anyone has a neck a bit small, but most likely I'll trim the rosewood to suit.

Good value & great meeting everyone.
Lots of nice amps & guitars!
The road to Hamilton has improved massively since I last went down (10 years ago) so now its only just over an hour away.
As that man said "I'LL BE BACK!"

Some of it involving messers le brun and clicqout, Sean connolys grill and tosca tonight It's not iron maiden but I do love a nice bit of opera too, cos I'm so fucking classy me. Oh may fit some crafty beers in too.

HAPPY 37th BG!!!!!!!!!!

(Again)

By the age of 37, a man can be forgiven for no longer being able to retain irrelevant information.

Shit Grant, take that expression to your next board meeting and they'll make you Chair out of sheer terror!

would've taken more but I enjoyed playing and watching too much!


Good fest - couple beer's shared - lots of snozzages eaten - many guitars played.

Hot gear on display, great pics man!

Great fun, and always good catching up with everyone. Miza's Tele, and Danny's Junior were very enjoyable jams! Also had especially funky jam with Grant on the Deluxe and me on his 56' Special. Included much Flange on my behalf.....
Cheers for organizing guys.

Lot of the gear and peeps look familiar- Grant looks rather stern with Ben!

He's just pissed that his guitar perfectly matches my shirt

always a pleasure - big ups for Matman having the wintec work hook ups too - next time (probably March at this point) we will probably have the 2nd large studio room too - so we won't have to all be crammed in 1 main room.

We did have 2 smaller rooms that didn't end up getting used - as we all managed to fit in the main classroom.


Option 2 will be the Meteor - $100 for the day - 2-3 rooms available. People will just have to COMMIT to the day and Pay up front before the day - we'd need $100 at LEAST to cover hire.

that's a discussion for the next thread


Wintec so far looks like the best option - always happy to bring food and drink - guitar sustenance.

I've got some gear photos, but I'll post them a little later.

in the meantime though...


THIS HAPPENED:

What? Grant trying out an Ibanez?

no - Me having amazingly fast blur arms.

Also - the door is this way

It's a PRS. Not quite a swimming pool... unless there had been a brown alert.

THIS HAPPENED:

Grant has played my swimming pool PRS as witnessed by BG, Slowy and Captain Black.

Pfft. Three witnesses aren't as good as photographic evidence. Caught in the act!

I'm bummed I didn't manage a hoon on Hacksaw's Transatlantic but other than that it was a great fest. Thanks all.
