Very nice!  Good to see a '59 get to the UK with a decent flame top!

Thanks everyone, glad you like.  Buying it was a pure Wayne's World moment - I walked into Vintage and Rare in Bath and it was on the wall directly in front of me.  I shouted "Excalibur!  It waits for me!"   The shop assistants chuckled and agreed to take my old Lester as part exchange.  A quick raid of my life savings later and it was mine.  Oh yes. It was mine.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I also knobbed Tia Carrera the same day. Sigh....one can dream.

And no, I didn't play Stairway.  I played Cheap Sunglasses and Freddie King's version of It Hurts Me Too.  If I can make them sound good it must be that the guitar is some kind of conduit into a parallel reality.

Me too, on both counts!
