I’ve been feeling the Jaguar a bit lately, been listening to a lot of Johnny Marr lately, it’s a pretty classy instrument.

I just like that I don’t hate myself the first time I ding or scratch a relic and don’t have to handle it with kid gloves! I kinda agree with that notion, a factory mint finish with one blaring scratch or ding is just annoying, I just always focus on the blemish and it bugs me. One scratch might as...

I have an AVRI Strat that I had hoped would gather an aged nitro finish but if anything you can just feel a thin nitro top coat floating on a poly base coat. The nitro feels good, it’s tactile and gathers scuffs but they buff out and then you have a new guitar again…which is fine, but if you want a ...

That’s going to age really nicely, great find.

Which colour did you go Grant? Anything exotic?

Looking at one of these on ebay, those who have bought them... what have you ended up paying? Dunno if I can be bothered waiting 3 months for one and this one is pretty much perfect... I’m watching this Shoreline Gold Strat body myself, I probably can’t afford it and won’t be placing a bid but I wo...

I really like the look of this, due to a booming voice in my head telling me I need a Jazzmaster. But at £950 before customs lay a beat-down and explode the budget it’s probably not an option.

Really appreciate the aged Olympic White.

I have a 1963 LG-0 and it sounds just like that, well it would if I had 30% of the talent that guy has. But it certainly has that seasoned thud and the bright jangly highs. I agree with the ‘dry’ description, i feel like the aged wood starts to sound more ‘boxy’, if that’s even a word. The LG-0 was ...

Yeah the rosewood neck was quite polarising for me to begin with, it just looked a bit strange, but now I’ve started to really appreciate it. It plays great, feels amazing, but I think you just expect to see the normal headstock. I think these came out just before the CITES ban on rosewood so Fender...

Never thought I’d be a Strat guy, but they sneak up on you. Left is a 1962 AVRI and the right is a 2015 limited run American Standard that Guitar Center put out with a solid rosewood neck. Love them both but the AVRI gets the most play, the Fat 50’s in the Standard are fantastic. https://i.postimg.c...

I'm gassing all day for an AVRI Strat 62 or 64, or a TL-52 Telecaster from Japan.
If anybody has one in the back of the wardrobe please get in touch.....I'll start mowing lawns and washing cars in anticipation.

Ahhhh yeah! Those are great too.

I have the Catalinbread SFT from the 'Foundation Series', so it's an Ampeg style 'Amp in a box' type deal. Also a nice option for just having a solid dirt foundation that responds like an amp when you dig in.

I have the Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde on my board and I love it, massively underrated in my opinion. Two pedals in one, TS-808 on the Jekyll side, and they say it's basically a RAT on the Hyde side. There's one on Trade Me at the moment for $99.00 Buy Now which is good value.

Almost purchased this guitar last year when Rob was culling the herd and looking for quick cash flow, I can't quite remember the price but it was much closer to the 2k mark from memory. It does come with some 'provenance' for being included in a Guitar Magazine issue where they showed off his collec...

I had a Tele with the Chopper T in the bridge and the Fast Track in the neck, the Chopper was awesome....lots of mid range but the guitar certainly lost the spank and twang you'd expect from a telecaster. That was fine with me as I was all about the fuzz back then but yeah.....Chopper T fan.
