the first report of the show i saw said that it was mainly corporate types standing round in suits and that the businesses selling off small parts seemed to be absent

anyway, i would quite like to see pics and reports of the show but i know it aint going to be something i will be displaying at for quite a while ( unless you all decide i am ace and every young bugger in an up and coming band wants my guitars(they may struggle as the current waiting list stands))

yeah.... gonna be a while as current guitar shows go, still would have liked to come down for a look but my brother decided it was time to have his shop refitted and have a holiday and shockingly his shop is still not fitted since he came back from holiday!!

Hey, that's my Jet next to the Setzer Signature!

Has PRS taken over the LP switch and pot layout? Are they in for another lawsuit?

Great shots Johnny, I love the custom shop Fenders. I am using my old PC and they took a while to load. As for that hat, what was he thinking?

nice pics, thanks for those, johnny :)

I forgot to post them earlier. Those Gretches are so nice, I've been gassing for one a while now. They're very popular with bands again, like the early 80's.
Yes some of those custom shop Fenders are very nice but very pricey!

He should loose the hat and polish his head!

Good work Johnny! :D

That heavy relic Strat with a bridge humbucker is giving me GAS (shame about the anemic looking fingerboard though).

Why are PRS still displaying the SC Trem? I thought it was being discontinued.

Well, he has to put something on that shiny globe of his otherwise he doesn't look human. However, if he takes his shades off he just look like a retard :lol:

You're right about that fingerboard Philly - very pale!

That Singlecut Trem looks like a Korean SE to me. It's a new model for this year:

No, I'm sure the two in Johnny's pics are both US ones - one has gold hardware and birds, and they both have highly carved bodies with recessed controls. The SEs are much less elaborately contoured.

It's probably just the distributor diplaying old stock.

Good spot! They must be old stock, as you say.

OK, feel a bit of a dick here... who is the bloke in the hat? :oops:

And yeah, them fenders look quite... sigh... (don't like humbuckers on my strats though...)

Joe Satriani.

The other bloke in the other hat is Billy Sheehan, of course.
