I'm going to play it for three weeks then store it for the best part of a year. Did think about a master volume and some other option for the spare knob but I probably won't be arsed to do either.

Just bought a Katana 50 combo from Andertons. Was going to take my Victory RK50 to the UK with me then buy a cab but it was easier to just buy a Katana and have it delivered to family there. Will just flick it before we leave.

Could do with that footswitch maybe then? Need to look into that.

I ran my 100 for a year without a foot switch with no problems, then got the foot switch and thought why the fuck didn't I get this from the get go .... I can sit in my chair and get 9 different tones instead of having to get up and push a button :rofl: Homer Simpson 4 life :rofl:

Not in the mail but I can't be arsed to start a thread. Collected the PRS from the Post Shop this morning. Thanks KNNZ. Went into Christchurch today and collected the Jag I bought yesterday. Seller was a really nice guy. Showed me pics of his dad who was part of the Dam Busters (Lancaster pilot / captain at just 22). Hard to imagine, eh. Anyway, here they are. Bit of a change considering I was down to one guitar a few weeks ago.

Jag seems better than I expected. Lighter than a Mexi one I lifted off the shelf at Rockshop this afternoon. Nice contours too and it plays well. :thumbup:

Cheers. Just another iteration. :oops:

It's just a big leather chair the Mrs found at some Christchurch big box store a few years ago. Actually not terribly comfortable and the stitching is starting to come apart thanks to the kids using it as a climbing frame. Awkward bugger too. I have to take the door off its hinges to get it out of the bedroom.

Molly, try as I might, I just can't put you and a Jaguar into the same scene.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I know what you mean. I could pick up a Gretsch or Rickenbacker or any number of guitars and I'd just play the same shit on them that I play on a Strat. But I'll noodle with it and see how it goes.

The PRS is another story I suppose. I plugged it into the Kotzen 50 head and jammed along with some Cozy Powell / Gary Moore track and that was much more my thing.

May just be the lighting but the finish on the Jag looks better there than it did in the auction photos. A bit darker/deeper, looks great.

It's a nice match to my CS 60 Strat. Not the bright red I was expecting it to be.

Needs a green guard. :-)

A sense of home, a satisfying job, lower blood sugar, and the opportunity to get my Walter Trout on. :-)

$950 Buy Now. Doubt I'll change anything on it. I'll just play it for a bit then inevitably start to think about what else I could buy with the money...
