I read the story of how James Taylor came to be playing his guitars. He sneaked one into Taylor's hotel room. I just hope he was paid for it. I'd hate to think someone would do all that work and a guy that could afford the guitar didn't have to pay for it.

Crazy expensive though. :-(
To be fair, Olson's artistry is on a plane of its own:

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.

I really like the look of these...

The cheapest one in Blue would be my choice.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Getting harder to fill the days. Mother-in-law is still here as she hasn't been able to transit through Singapore. It's like a perfect-storm of FFS.

I might remove a brick fireplace today.
Even better remove it then brick it back up
With her behind it :thumbup:

I was wondering if "removing a brick fireplace" was a euphemism.
Tin arse!!

My man cave is a joke, means I have less impetus to play. On the upside, had a zoom beersies session with the lads on Sunday arvo, that was a sanity saver.

Have an early 2000's Fulltone Ultimate Octave Fuzz pedal coming my way, also a Tumnus Deluxe. Looking forward to lockdown being lifted so I can fill in the gaps on my pedalboard

Badly gassing for a suitably old and smelly looking Strat, but it's gonna have to wait until I hit my next round of bonuses

I'm hoping to have another Strat heading my way before too long. Separate to that I'm back on Stratosphere contemplating a partscaster. Spendy though.

I'm getting a bit of ash from Kerry Truscott for a new tele body after the lockdown. Just been checking out necks on Warmoth and Stratosphere, might wait til the NZ$ is a bit more favourable.
Loving it so far

I've just worn out my 3rd one but they get through a ton of work, great bits for the price - made in Italy

Have been watching a few demo's of this as I'm after a new OD pedal

I was leaning towards a Tumnus Deluxe but... think I could very well be hitting up Matt from ToneLounge for this once the lockdown is over :thumbup:
