I guess I should include this one. Hope Grant doesn't mind me reusing one of his pics.

Body is Korina. Made by G&B in the UK (https://guitarandbassbuilds.com/). Neck is AllParts. It's the fattest 'D' neck I've ever encountered. Massive. Pickups are from Q Pickups in Croatia (that well known hotbed of Texas tone - https://www.qpickups.com). Nice aged guard and an especially good finish. It was put together and thin-nitro painted by GrantB. It's the nicest colour when you see it in the flesh. Weighs just under 8.5 lbs. Sounds nothing like my ash / maple '54 reissue (as you might expect). Great for Sayce overdriven tones and Knopfler cleans.

I often picture Grant with a fat D in his hands.

Easy, just throw a bucket of shit over your amp, 80's Clapton tone.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Wow you run your pickups really low, or is that pre setup?

How long did it take for the finish to crack like that?

One night when it spent the night with the guitar tech, he must have left it out in the cold ha ha. If you even look at the finish it cracks, dents or falls off can’t wait to see how it looks in 5 years.

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.
