What sort of metal? Is it copper so that you ultimately, with enough wear and sweat, will get the greeny look?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Finally exhausted the last of the funds from the Harley sale and, with the aid of a wee short-term loan from the family, have a 335 on the way in. The model has the catchy, easy to remember code of ESDTVSNH1. It's a regular Memphis guitar (I don't have CS money the way prices have gone) but it's bloody nice. Identical to this one:



Got a few bits on TM to help make up the shortfall. That and an impending birthday should cover it.

You've got the Eastman as well?

We'd all be very interested in a comparison if you have.

No. Instead of. No issues with the Eastman, and it would've been a lot cheaper, but you know how it is... :-)

Starting to stress about the 335. Been 'processing at depot' for three fucking days now. Enquiries lead to automated emails. :-(

If it is Highbrook do not stress out too much. That place is some sort of world of its own.
Anything that I have had go through there or has been delayed has that place attached to it.
Best call is to ring not email. Always seems to get things moving a tad quicker :thumbup:

Highbrook might just be the biggest open plan building in the Country. Put something on the floor and you could take a week to find it.
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’m sure they’re backed up too after the floods down south, prioritising other goods ahead of stuff like this :)

Wtf is more important than a 335?

It is. FFS. I did phone. Got put on hold and when she came back it was just to say she'd sent me an email. The email was just a copy/paste load of nothing.
