The guitar fretboard has been walked up and down many times. Good to know it’s a player.

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the fretboard, pickups can be swapped, but you can't beat something nice to play.
Tin arse!!

Does anyone know much about the G and L stuff? Cheers
These are only $999 new, EMGs don't belong in a strat, sorry David Gilmour!

That's my old G&L!

Lots of memories with that one, sold it after uni and never thought I'd see it again.

I remember back in the day having a Hayman 30/30 English made electric. It had its own styled pups. I decided that because the LP was my favourite sounding gat I’d make a new pick guard and put in some HBs and get my LP sound. It was the start of a journey which told me to find the LP sound I wanted I had to buy an LP. I went through a few to find one I really liked on the journey ....it was a learning curve to be sure.
