Thanks to Grant and Simon for organising the fest. Was a really fun day (even though I was banished to being in my own room...thanks Matt for coming to keep me company :rofl: )

Some fantastic gear on display as usual and some amazing playing and tonez

Had a really good time as always.

Really enjoyed playing Tim's Suhr Classic T (drool) and the red Gibson 335 - Man that thing was amazing. So much cool gear. Grants p90 LPs were really awesome too.

Cool day, cheers Grant and Simon for organising, and to all who showed up with cool toys.

Couple of highlights for me... getting an introduction to surf guitar from Ben on the drive down, gonna have to learn some riffs. Sean's home made 6 coil pickups - they sounded awesome. Getting to have a play on Simon's Kemper, and a listen to the Katanas, some good sounds in there, Simon's black duesenberg starplayer, really enjoyed the trem on that. The 2 50's LP juniors were cool as too, went down there GAS free, but might have stoked some up after playing those things.

Few photos from the show and tell

Ah, but your surf riff is worthy of being a ring tone!
