Time is ticking by.  Looks like Monday will be collection day.  Might have to check out what else they've got in stock when I'm there  ;)

I heard it might be snowing on Monday

Twinfan, VOS SGs are great, probably a bit overpriced when compared to a VOS LP, but really good to play, and weigh next to nothing.

Here's my pair of VOS's.


Very nice matey!

Great  :roll:

Still waiting for the credit card, so unless it turns up tomorrow it'll be a week on Monday until we make the trip South.

4hrs each way. I reckon it'll be worth it!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Ouch that is a lot. Take breaks, it's better in the end.

Missus coming with you or will it be just you?

So if there is snow, make sure:
1. Your tank is full (in case you have to stop and stay in the car overnight)
2. You have enough water and ideally some tea in a can
3. Mobile is charged
4. To wear some wooly knickers LOL

Good luck with it mate, I'm sure the guitar is gonna be worth it and I do envy you for getting one, but I am not focussed on the LPs so much at the moment.

After my experience with a Tylerbaster last week, I am now fully infected by the Telecaster bug. I need a great and ballsy RW Tele very badly. James wouldn't build me a Tylerbuster as he stopped them and is committed on his Mongoose design now, a real bummer cause that guitar got to me very bad. In fact it was in my >20 years of playing the best ever guitar I got my hands on. We kept it on vid and I think you can see me really fall for it after about 6:00 on this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_OBJOAsI8w

Maybe another Alder/RW Tele with Suhr Pickups would do the same trick for me.

OK, I'm sorry, but I've gotta beat Afghan to this....

Wasn't it a bit distracting when your big buddy kept leaning over and twisting your knob while you were playing?  :|

We must have been watching at the same time Philly. That's exactly what I was thinking!

Haha, he could have touched all kinds of buttons and I wouldn't even have realised - I was just so blown away by that Tyler  :lol: :lol:

Snow's turned up - bugger!  Won't stop me making the trip though, hopefully!

Found this on the LP forum, Billy playing a Pearly at the signing session:

Really bright and crispy isn't it?  None of this dull fatness you get with lots of them.
