I'm not going to buy any new guitars this year

God, I hate myself sometimes.  :|

Oooh!  Nice one Phil!  Looks superb!  A Japanese one I see...

I've just had a slight pang of GAS for one of these, which I'd put a mini-humbucker in -  the new PRS SE One Korina:

Yep! :D  How did you spot that so quick?  The two-screw trussrod cover?

The only bummer is, whichever courier company delivered it obviously whacked the box at some point and crushed the volume and tone knobs (the pots popped through the top of the knobs and the reflector bits were in the bottom of the box).  :(
I don't think the wood's damaged but I need to dismantle it to be sure.

Yeah, it didn't influence my purchase - I always loved the look of these - but I remember the one Jake had.  No neck bends for mine though!!!

Not mine!  Everything in the pic - except the guitar! - belongs to the previous owner.  :)

Lovely SG Jr Phill!

I'm thinking in build a SG Jr or a LP Jr if I win the Unofficial Warmoth forum's raffle... Perhaps a Esquire...

Lovely this "foot on the door, punch on the face" attitude of the Juniors :twisted:

Not even that.  Nine days, if I exclude the day I actually paid for it.   :oops:

But maybe it'll be like last year.  Not counting the Warmoth stuff (bear with me!) I only bought the 339, and that was way back in March.  Nowhere near as bad as the previous few years.

I'm not GASing for anything, so we'll see..... but this Tokai just turned up by chance so maybe it would be foolish to think nothing else will....

That's a sweet looking SG! How many SGs do you own now? 4?

That SE Korina looks sweet Dave... Always liked the SE Ones.

Just the three - the SG-155, this one (does anyone know the model number, by the way?) and my trusty green SG-X.

hehe, i was being charitable about the fortnight, i was going to say, "not counting when you bought it", but it looked like a stock picture, so i couldn't be sure you hadn't just ordered it today and it hadn't arrived yet.

sorry to hear it turned up a bit bashed. I'm always super-paranoid before stuff arrives that it's not going to get bashed. I've been fairly lucky so far, I don't think anything has got bashed, but there's always a first time and it happens... :(

EDIT: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-USG90-SG-Junior-See-Through-White-Single-P90_W0QQitemZ250434787399QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item3a4f139847

model number is usg90, assuming you bought a newish one. :)
