Had a great time as usual. Didn't take many photo this time as I forgot to bring my camera along. Here are a few early shots from the iPhone.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

OMG, Scooter's Adrian Smith strat... :zomg: That is the coolest super strat I have ever seen. Much, much want. Also want my old strat back now... Tony has made it total amazoid. Who said don't bother bringing strats!

Also Nik's ES-330. Totally forgivable burst action there.

Awesome, cheers chaps! Good to see you all again and of course play thru some coooool shit.

Also, sorry for bringing an AxeFX and not even really knowing how to use it yet... was kinda hilarious actually. By the time the next one rolls around I swear I will have at least learnt how to use the floorboard :lol:

Great to talk smack and share war stories.

My highlights were

- all the red and/or P90 Gibsons of custom shop or vintage origin. It was heavenly.

- playing Sirvill's Montreal through Darth's Fender Pro Reverb was beautiful

- Polar Bear and Darth Sabbathi playing my Tele and Strat respectively through their rigs and looking absolutely uncomfortable when not wielding a red Gibson
