Incoming NGD thanks to the wonders of FB

Well thanks to @The_Whisper_Thief ;
sold one of these years ago due to being broke and have looked and hunted and been close to getting one a few times but it always fell done at the final hurdle. Was the highest bidder on this one and the lad changed it to collection only, I put a shout out on FB and Grant came to the rescue. 
It’s a Vintage VR100LM and it’s been all a bit of a faff for what’s a pretty cheap guitar buts an itch I have had to scratch. I know pics or it didn’t happen, pic courtesy of Grant, thanks again man, I owe you one.

Well done @The_Whisper_Thief  - good the see the FB collective swinging in to action..

One for jamming there I reckon @mikeyrob73

mikeyrob73

yeah @Bridgehouse ;
FB has come through on this one, its the only guitar i have ever regretting selling, now maybe i am looking at things through rose ( TV yellow?) tinted glasses and maybe they arent actually all that good, but its an itch i had to scratch now i am a lot more financially secure than i was back then. Its been an awful lot of toing and froing for what is a pretty cheap guitar so lets see if my memories are correct. In the meantime @The_Whisper_Thief ; gets to enjoy it for the next week or so while i bugger off to Greece to drink Ouzo and smash some plates

Finally it’s here! Just had 10 minutes unplugged so far and the neck is just as a remembered, slim and very nice.

Fretboard cleaned, frets polishes and re strung and I love it :-) only thing I want to change it the pots. Volume is 0= off , 0.5= full on, they can pretty much be used as a kill switch

Three very nice looking guitars there. A good variety of amplified sounds too with those pickup configurations. Happy NGD.

I can thoroughly recommend six string supplies. They made me a new harness for my les paul.
