Cheers guys!

I cranked it up through the Splawn last night for half an hour or so.

Not the most versatile guitar in the world, I never expected it to be, but it was awesome for the 70s/80s Rock thing I do :D

I'll probably change the pickups at some point to a Trilogy in the neck and a Miracle Man in the bridge, but there's no rush as the Super D in the bridge is good and the dual rail in the neck is passable for the time being

I do like me a good honest super-strat and that looks a beaut, especially for the money.

Now that guitar is clearly not trying to be anything else, is it? 80s Tastic!

Nice find :)

^ That's awesome. as i said in brow's thread over at musicradar- if they'd done the yellow one with a neck pickup too (and kept the angled bridge pickup)... I'd have been all over that. That's probably why I never got round to getting one before they were discontinued- I could never decide if I wanted the yellow or the red (and I couldn't justify both... heck I could barely justify one :lol: ). Didn't help that for the first year or so after they came out they were rarer than hens' teeth, and then they were discontinued soon afterwards. :(

Yeah, I've not been a member there too long to be honest.

I joined up to have a poke around about a certain maker of guitar amp covers and ended up staying :)

Yeah I signed up a while back, figured I might as well. It's not my favourite forum, but it's good enough to stay :lol:

Looks very nice :) Nice tablecloth too ;)

You build guitars for a living, fob it off as 'research'  :lol:

:lol:

I'll not put it in print, but I have a private conclusion of some shape or form (who can say what?) that I reached a couple of months back... I've not told the missus in so many words, but I think she knows I've reached that conclusion.

There's a possibility I can get my original Westone IA back from a nephew (he's looking to exchange it for some cr@ppy acoustic from a mate, but his mother made him ask me first) - my first reaction was "yeah I want..." but then... apart from the sentimental side, er, why?!

Stevepage has a very good suggestion, but I strongly suspect that "Mrs Feline" is slightly more clued-up on what might constitute actual research and general "ummm, geetar... yesss..." :lol:

Funnily enough, I can say the same thing (although I might not mean exactly the same thing :lol:)

Do we really need to be coy?  Loads of us have too many guitars!  Keith Richards has too many guitars!

But do we need to do anything about it?
