Well I haven't got the cash, I've got two Ibanez reissues on order that I haven't worked out how to pay for yet, I've got no more guitars to sell, so there's no way I can get a new PRS.

I'm just going to have to want and not buy.

It'll kill me.

I think I had around 25 at my peak, but I've cut down a little bit and I've now got 20.

12 'player' electrics
6 'collection' Ibanez's
2 acoustics

2 'collection' Ibanez's are on order if they come to the UK.  I should find out soon if they'll definitely be coming here.

I like it. I like it a lot. I hope there's a hardtail version.

I have a feeling there will be several Mira/Starla versions announced....

I think you're probably right. A hardtail Starla with standard Hums (for replacement with Mules) might just be the Josh Homme-ness I have been looking for.

At the risk of offending Tim (:oops:) You won't need Mules.  The stock pups are very, very good.

I don't doubt they are, I just have a fairly strong preference for the ould Mules for that kind of sound. As ever, itd depend how the stock ones sounded.

Fair enough!  The stock ones are like a cross between a Riff Raff and a Mule  :)

Theoretically speaking, I might even go lower output, AII Stormies or such.

As they're very SG-like, I think they'd work well too....

There's something about the look of a Bigsby on a guitar that leaves me cold, for some reason.  Dunno why; I've never owned or even played one.  It's just that when ever I see one I kinda tense up...

Why is that?

I hate the way bigsby's look. They look like an unsightly dental contraption to me, something that might need to be there, but by god you look forward to the day that it comes off...

And that scratchplate is a bit meh. I'm never a fan of scratchplates, though, so my reaction to this one is not a surprise!
