The view to my left from my desk :)

The one on the right (obviously) is Scarecrow's old Ash Radian, it's a weird guitar and should be everything I don't like (massive neck, textured neck, satin finish and yet it's the one I reach for most often. So much that one day I might try a full SG. Also seriously considering some sort of LP Jnr or similar P90 fuelled beast, especially after seeing that PhilX video with the TV Yellow one.

I really need to find a band to try and play some straight ahead simple stuff with this guitar, probably be great fun.

Well hello there pearly :)

As above, i call first dibs if you sell.

If anyone was looking for something cheap, one of these just popped up on fb. Looks pretty nice for $350!

The HB stuff seems universally loved, can't go wrong for that price, get a proper setup and start wailing on it!
