Cheers Dave! Just watching some clips of John Mayer and then this link is posted. I'm not going to weaken, I repeat I'm not going to weaken. Not yet anyway!!

I don't like the GV sale, it seems a bit pointless to me but I guess some people will see £100 less as a great deal.

They do have some good deals though. £100 less is good on a £400 guitar, maybe not so much on a £2k plus guitar.

Nope!

That's annoying of them, the bar-stewards.  :x

I like the first one especially.... but I'm going to resist.

Stupidly I popped along to the GV sale this morning. I tried that white over S'Burst CS strat out. Big mistake. It was lovely and made me think bad things.

I played it through an old Marshall combo (it was very dark blue with the silver grille - may have been a JMP but the letters were nearly rubbed off). The sound was pretty much sublime in all positions, the neck sound was classic strat (yes, I sound like Alan Partridge) and very bell like. Te in bteween positions were great. I now realise I should not have gone!

Now dreaming of ways to emulate Derren Browns 'achievement' last week.

You fool, you fool!

Does that mean the Esquire is heading my way?????  ;)

BACK OF THE NET! :P

 :D But you're GAS free aren't you?

The Esquire is staying put for a while to be honest! At the moment it's that familiar old feeling of what can I sell. I've been there too many times before so I'm determined to keep the Esquire. I do think my best bet will be to wait and see what strats are around when I have some £s to spare. I know if I move the Esquire on I'll regret it later.

Oh dear, Ian, you poor chap...  :( I sympathise greatly...

I must admit though, I was wondering how a fellow who still has a strat as his avatar, could possibly be satisfied with a single bridge pickup, albeit a very tasty single bridge pickup.

Alas, you give it all away, your inner turmoil, with which you must have been fighting for weeks now, with the single phrase "Te in bteween positions were great."...

Have you so missed this, and are you so unbalanced by experiencing it again... that you can't even type straight anymore?

I don't know what to suggest, but I shall be thinking of you, supportively, as I go back to my nice new guitar with it's gorgeous classic strat tones...  (and from which, after some judicious twiddling of the Tex Mex pickup heights, I am experiencing not one, but TWO, absolutely divine in-between-tones) :lol:  :twisted:

[Ian Price]

 :D :D Cheers Andy. That helps a lot!

[AndyR]

Glad to be of service sir :D

It's the Frusciante thing - he can't get Strats out of his head  :lol:

Just PM'd you. Frusciante, Hendrix and Mayer were all mentioned! Damn this forum!

[WezV]

dont do it Ian!!  keep that esquire a bit longer - you WILL regret letting it go!

although i still think you are a strat man at heart

 :D Just re-read that. Missed it first time. The small keys on my laptop are firmly to blame!
