tony - make it £10  :)

See you around 2pm.

See, I can be bothered to get there to collect it ... not like that other guy who wants to keep you hanging on until the weekend ...

No, don't do it  :o :o :o I'm supposed to be collecting the MJW Deluxe from Dave at Wez's place on Saturday!
I think I hate being indecisive.

That does look good chaps.

I wasn't convinced about the scratchplate when I first saw it a while back (as in what it doesn't cover, so why is it there, kinda thing...), but it's kinda grown on me and I now accept it as part of the whole...

Great looking guitar - nice job, Wez - that retro-look pup really fits well with the project

I agree with Andy about the pickguard. Really does look great on that guitar!

Yep - very nice job Wez. Didn't think I'd like it when to started but love the blue and the scratchplate.

Holy shitee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :o  :o  :o

Man that's hot!

I'd hit it.  Giggity giggity.  :D

And why is Wez getting all the credit for colour and scratchplate etc?  It was my bloody idea!!!!!!!

he has a point - i didnt imagine it would look this good when we first started discussing it.  Dave gets the credit for the really cool design idea.

i get the credit for all the little design tweaks that no bugger except me and dave will ever notice :)

Ha ha - cheers Wez!  I wasn't getting angry, just making a point  ;)

I guess the Fender Custom Shop should take most of the credit, but I had the blue sparkle colour in mind from the off.  The natural back was my idea too after we saw how nice the wood looked when cut.  We both agreed on korina for the body and the need for a top binding.

Wez, quite rightly, should take all the credit for the tummy cut, neck heel scultping, scratchplate logo etc.
