That's awesome! I had one of the orange flame Dean Dime guitars for a while, if it had a fixed bridge I would've kept it. Floyd's do my head in

You don't see many of the blue ones come up very often aye, good score

Have a set of GFS Mean 90's sitting in the cupboard - the ones out of JB's old telemaster and the green tele. Black covers though.
Thanks for thinking about it. I don't think black covers would suit it to be honest. Appreciate the thought.

Welcome to the madness, love the fuzz factory, I made a clone but it could be a tad unpredictable with the germanium transistors :lol: occasional sonic death when you turn it on :mental:

Do you do much sim racing? I'm just getting a new setup sorted again after having to sell up when living in an apartment.

I remember Geoff Cranston's Grand Prix 2, jumpers for goalposts, small boys in the park. Me and a guy I worked with made steering wheel and pedals. They actually worked quite well, considering we CNC'd most of the bits and used precision roller bearings etc. I loved working night shift.

I still hit up Project Cars 2, Dirt Rally 2 and Forza 7 every now and then.

Went down the flight sim rabbit hole for a short while - so looking forward to the new microsoft, I'll wait awhile though, bugs etc...
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Bought this Les Paul Traditional. Think I'll prefer the spec of the Traditional over the Standard (though I get that they varied the spec from year to year).

Was worried the Covid thing would delay my Les Paul. My Mrs pointed-out that in the grand scheme of things it wasn't that important. I pointed-out that in the grand scheme of things nothing is important. As David Thewlis' character in Mike Leigh's 'Naked' said: We're all in a constant state of coming into being and passing away. Despite that, I still want my new Les Paul... Thankfully, it's made it out of the danger zone ;-)
