Only GAS I have is for gear I already own (well nearly). GrantB is currently doing a refret and working his magic fingers on my R8, and I hope to get the 65 Amps 'London Pro' from Molly at some point in August. Should make for a good combo I would've thought

I find the American Original 60s Tele in LPB quite temping too.
I sold one just like that last week. Played like a million bucks!

I think Grant was quite taken with it. Sorry Grant, it's gone now.

Not double-bound. But the American Original series one would do just fine. :-)

It looks a bit like an Epiphone Century, or something very like it.
Correct, 1955 to be precise.

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

Wow (and sigh). That is the thin line version. I wonder if there are any in NZ?

I can't actually find that model on the Godin website. Didn't you have a Godin once, Nik?

Night shift is terrible for GAS. I'm really trying to stop myself from buying a Ventris reverb.
Loving it so far

Yes, I had a 5th Avenue model, single P90 neck pickup. It was really nice. Rockshop have them for about $1200

Not a fan of the finish, otherwise that looks pretty cool.

Looking at a rejig of my pedalboard. Few things I want to add or replace:
- Nicer delay to replace DD-3. I like the look of the 80tape In Limbo but I'm not sure if they're still making them
- Fuzz to replace big muff, something a bit weirder ideally
- Isolated power supply
- Something else? Chorus/trem or something. Will know it when I see it...
