Does @thorpyfx’s demo guy post on here, or is he lucky enough to have a real life?

He does indeed post on here

Was that the Sonic Blue one? If so, we saw him having a play in the corner of the live room towards the end and I was jealous - I'd been eyeing it up.  Very very nice.  Not that I was going to buy it, mind you, the Mrs would have killed me! I think new guitars are out for now following the R8. For a while at least.

Did anyone buy anything - other than strings, pots etc?

(Would imbed it but it won’t on my iPhone)

I think Barry sold 4 guitars - I think that came from Barry didn't it - The stand next to me

I did okay but nothing special - Just the 1 guitar at this show but a tasty price so can't argue - Often about what you take a few days/weeks later as well via new potential contacts etc

Yup. That was from Barry

remind me - Ref the Hayman 2020H - I'l be getting it back soon after re-fret work - Did you say they had 100K pots ? - And did you suggest 250 or 500K - can't recall which you said you changed yours to

Hayman 2020H (and all Shergolds) were originally fitted with 100k pots. I change them out to 500k Log pots (usually CTS) and it’s like a curtain is lifted from the sound. Much more top, and they sound less ‘cloudy’ in the mids.

Hope that helps, Mark.

excellent - As I mentioned the goal is to ensure it can be the best it can be regarding how it performs, yet retain a sensible pricing - Looks mighty cool - see so few for sale today

Steve Robinson is under taking the fret work, so should have it back in about 10 days, so will look at electrics later

Yes we were sat there as he couldn't wait to go home and have a noddle
