Cool. I’ve got a 40 second video clip as well if you’re interested. I don’t have a YouTube account setup. If you pm me a No. I can WhatsApp it or if not I’ll get a YouTube account at some point and host it up.

Ok, so this is going to be one of those annoyingly vague posts (rather like one of those ‘what’s up hun’ status updates on facebook) but I’ve just had a call from a childhood hero of mine who played guitar in one of my all time favourite bands....and he’s just ordered a guitar to use on the bands upcoming US tour in October!!!

I don’t want to say who just yet in case I jinx it....but I had to tell somebody because I’m absolutely buzzing about it!!

Sure! A ‘57 SC in sunburst to visually replicate his original Junior he used in ‘73/74 but with a custom neck profile. He’s coming over to the workshop in a few weeks to go over the finer details

Great stuff. Word is getting around and quite rightly so.

I'm beginning to understand what all the hoopla's about.
