Luverly guitar Steve - although, like Antag I was at first convinced it was a 12 string    :? :?

Nice one, I was wondering what you were hinting at a few week's back...

That looks absolutely gorgeous :D

You'll be playing an Explorer yet! :lol:

(I suppose I shouldn't tell you this, but to me, a fellow strat-man, the Explorer feels like the strat-player's Gibson. :roll:)

Thanks guys. I have had a day off work today and whilst extremely busy, I have had time to have a bit of a play and of course tonight there is a band rehearsal. I took the picture previously posted in so much of a hurry as the battery was low and as a result the camera shake did indeed make it look like a 12 string. Here are a couple more taken today- the lighting wasn't great but you'll get the idea I am sure.

Philly, it is a 1960's neck. I have checked the model number as you suggested.

The range of tones is amazing, I have been a jazz comping this afternoon plus venturing into Kossoff territory. I look forward to playing slide tonight( not really set up for it but I won't let that stop me). Overall it sounds very much like a 335 to me but feels a lot easier. I have some strap locks to fit on it plus my American friend is sending me a new strap plus a spare scratch plate signed by B B King.

It really does look mighty fine.  When I got mine in sunburst I was very tempted to also get a cherry one (I've calmed down a bit now).

I sorta went through that too, one for slide was my thinking.

Just got back from a band rehearsal and I used it for most of the songs whereas I normally play the strat. Some great tones and it was interesting experimenting. It is going to take a while to get used to the variety on offer. Surprisingly I don't seem to have any problem switching between them in terms of the different feel and layout and scale etc.

It looks a great guitar.  I have been admiring them for a bit, but having a 335 they would be a bit much (though I do have lots of Strats!).

That looks great! I've had GAS for a really nice semi for ages, but it will be a while before I get round to actually buying one.

It looks lovely though, congrats on the purchase!

wow,

Those pictures I don't think do it justice but at least you can tell how snazzy it is................I've wanted to post a NGD but my guitar is so.................shiny, as some of you might know I'm having a hard time getting a proper picture with all the refraction distorting the image.

Thanks guys- I know the pictures are bad but I haven't really had the chance to take good ones-maybe this weekend I will get time.  My Brother is a pro photographer so when I see him I'll try and get him to do some . Meanwhile I am loving the guitar and particularly the change from Fenders though it also makes me appreciate the Fenders more.
