Of course - and I think you are due a double dose of good luck now!

I'm thinking of bringing my Korina V instead of Purple Ronnie as it has some VH2s in.
Just making a new scratchplate for it tonight , and swapping some hardware for tonepros versions as it was made before I started using the TP stuff.

Go for it Jon, i'm bringing a Charvel with a VH2 in the bridge, so it'd be cool to hear how a neck one performs :)

Phew that's me made it back home in one piece. Damn it was hot today.

Highlights included:

-Ahfgan dave with a silly grin while holding all a tele.
-Everyones faces when they put on my tele and it hit their knees, long straps ftw
-Philly shredding. No joke, with Dave's yellow BC Rich he was a machine. Fingers were blurring.
-Reliced 'Fenders'- me likee a lot. Dave's Fano was lovely and Ian's Esquire was stunning.
-The cream machine was far too loud and amazing for such a little box. I want one now.

Thanks fellas for making it a fun day and gwEm for 'organising' it. My ears are still ringing thanks to super Oli and his loudness.

Good day though.  Some lovely guitars, too many long straps.

don't worry theres a few pics of the meet, give us a chance ;)

so, my highlights... well its true phillyq knows some sweet metal licks thats for sure! boozing in the pub talking about law and metal was very fine. it seems i share alot with afgan dave in terms of guitar taste.

the guitars i wanted to go home with: my slowhand strat, badger's holydiver tele, and my jazzmaster build ;) 2/3 ain't bad ;)

was very happy to see so many friendly faces, and i hope the people who travelled so far found it worth while - regret not having beer with twinfan and ian.. though they seemed surely well pleased about trying some stuff out and getting ideas for their rigs. also happy to see rack fiends feline and oli saying 'your 20/20 poweramps not the sh1t, but its not sh1t either'.

i can see a third london meet, and then after that, who knows!

my big learnings from the meet - ada mp1 really good, don't wear too long guitar strap, be careful of squier jv, and award session jd not too shabby!
