I NEED A HORUS!!!

The LP is also beautiful =)


Yeah me too those inlays are quality! I'd love a short scale superstrat. I only know of the Horus and the ESP Mavericks. What else are there?

If you're happy to look second hand, the Charvel Fusion range (custom and deluxe) that was made around 1990 was 24 3/4 scale.

Can you identify it Ginga? Looks like a great buy for the price - And the one I tried at LGS was superb - I think it was Davey's.

If the seller's on this forum, he's rubbing his hands in glee.

At least save your bids until the last minute, so you don't force the price up early (no, I'm not watching it too!).

I really shouldn't have posted the link - I probably just cost myself a few pounds in the bidding war I'll have against Lazy :p

Yeah that's one, the same as davey's and WFD's, although it's been modded.
The one you're looking at is the deluxe model, there's also the custom which is H-S-S (or H-h-h if you want to be picky) which might be worth looking for if you want a middle pickup.  Anyway, back to thread...

I bought a guitar from him - no problems, except Customs couldn't figure out the value and sent me a letter asking for proof of how much I'd paid so they could work out the VAT and import duty.  :(

couldn't you just tell them you werent expecting a package and therefore assume it's a gift? :P

Nice idea  :lol: , but even if it was a gift there'd be VAT and duty payable.  And if you didn't pay it, I guess they'd send it back...

Well, it's not here, and I've recieved no letters asking for customs charges...
Parcelforce reckon nothing's gone wrong, but the thing's been in the country for over a week now and it doesn't seem to be moving (I track it and it says "INTERNATIONAL HUB" whatever that means.)
Kind of annoying, especially as i'm going to uni soon, and i really wanted to take her with me. Parcelforce seem to be able to f*ck EVERYTHING up

I wouldn't worry too much - once you get the letter from Parcelforce, if you pay the charges online by credit or debit card they can usually deliver next day.  When do you go to Uni?

(I've just ordered another Edwards, by the way!  :oops: )

Nah, only my third! :lol:   It's one of these, a not-very-accurate copy of Jeff Beck's customised 1954 "oxblood" Les Paul.  I like the weird purple colour and wraparound bridge, and apparently it has a huge fat neck:

Hmm the wraparound gives that LP an unique look. Not sure if I like it but congrats anyways! Where did you order from this time?

Beck's guitar started out as a goldtop with P-90s, hence the wraparound.  I like guitars to be as simple as possible! (Although I may replace the bridge with an adjustable one if the intonation's too dodgy.  We'll see.)

I ordered from a chap called Hisashi on eBay.  He seems to have a similar operation to Katana, lots of cool stuff like Edwards, Tokai, Bacchus and ObG:
