Yeah, welcome from me too. Where in West Sussex? I'm in Horsham. I am hoping to sort out one of my Strats soon and I am gonna love trying to make up my mind. The one that needs sorting is a 1970's one which is a great guitar and I have had it more or less since new but had EMG's put in it a few years back but I hate the thought of having batteries and I want to get a nice classic tone-I am thinking Apaches or maybe Irish Tours for a bit of extra oomph. I hope to get to the show- work permitting.
Hi 38th Beatle (if I remember correctly, I was the 27th Beatle? Or was it the 72nd one....? :) )
I am in a village near Chichester - not a million miles away! If you want to try out the 57 with Tim's Custom Wind pickups, I'd be happy to let you try it out. Personally, I am over the moon with them!
