In the three bottom car parks against the back of the Bollix, approximately zero seconds.

We were lucky, had a bit of grace on the parking but the towie was there to collect 2 cars.

Thanks Single Coil for the go on your Epi LP. It's the right weight with a hefty neck and the headstock work is actually excellent.

Was a fun day, also glad a couple of us were outside having an ear rest when the tow truck turned up!
yeah thanks for that. Don't think I was one of the cars he was there to get but I moved anyway. Don't think I've ever seen guitarists move that quickly before :rofl:

Some very cool gear and great to catch up with those I've met before and to meet the rest of you. Apologies for ducking off really quickly - some cat forgot to change his watch for daylight saving the week before and put me wrong about the time - cheers Matt!

And big thanks to BG for organising - sorry about the ears and the plumbing - hope both improve!

getting a plumber in tomorrow, have finally admitted defeat. I reckon its a joint drain and the temp tenants in front have been flushing nappies or something. Wouldn't be surprised.

Great shots Sir!
The gold Squier is Zaulkin's. Loves a gold Strat, I do.
And well done on the Old Folks; from where I parked, I never saw their Ass. :rofl:

There was a Parker Fly? I never saw a Parker Fly!

Good phone, good photos! Missed the Fly too, always wondered about its appeal.

Super ergonomic. Light, but consistent (not headstock or body heavy).
Fretboard is slippery. Stainless frets; the whole thing is a carbon something like the proper steinies.
Piezo pickups aren’t my thing so that was a bit blah, but the rest of it was great. Trem surprisingly pleasant. Felt well made.

- my two cents.
