It's great going back and looking at all those amazing Ash/Radian guitars, seeing the history and build up to a couple that I now own.
funny seeing a post on FB from 7 years ago of me admiring one new release which now hangs on the wall behind me
WHich is yours man?
It's my job to look after this wonderful guitar, that used to belong to Bg
I also have a Radian SG Jnr that I bought from Scarecrow, here it is on the wall behind my desk.

(left to right) Ash Donnie, Taylor, RRV made with a Mahogany body and parts from Adrian, Radian SG Jnr
between the Donnie and the Taylor is a Korina superstrat body from Adrian for a project I've had sitting around for far too long but I am going to start completing soon.

I remember that one well! nice score, the SG's of his I played were amazing too. Did you score one of his V bodies?
No I got the RRV on one one of his New Years clean outs. I actually really really wish I'd got a proper Flying V body because I really wanted a Flying V in the Michael Schenker style so much, but I've decided I really really don't need one and certainly can't justify it so I've put that dream away for good.

The black and white? yeah that kinda iconic Scorpions / MSG type goodness. I remember seeing a bunch of Traditional style V bodies (from memory) on FB market place a while after he closed up shop and regret not getting one, they were stupid cheap.

Yeah, me too, too fucking uncomfortable when sat down
Its not enough that we succeed, we still need others to fail
I think it's a good sign that there's quite a few ASH/Radian guitars our there but they rarely pop up for sale. I don't think I'll ever let go of my ASH.

I've learned from experience that buying a cheap body is a long way from ending up with a cheap guitar. If you do it justice by the time you've sourced pickups, hardware and a neck (without thinking of the finish) you'd have been better buying a cheap 2nd hand guitar from somewhere. BUT where's the fun in that

Haha true, and I can relate. I used Ash's Ibanez 540P Template and scored a one piece Sapele slab........I've had it unfinished not even ready for a neck for over a decade now... and it sounds weird about thinking about that
