    What's the chance of seeing a Parker fly at this shindig?
    I've got a pen I can throw at you if you like?
    You are the dreamer, and the dream...

  • I might be from Corby mate.
    You'd risk getting a brick thrown back at you
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    valid question but right now I'm trying to recall when I last saw any Parker at any show - You can never say never, but they are not 10 a penny - See you Sunday

    Just spoken to the organiser - Show space totally sold out, yet others are still trying to get a stand booked at the last minute, so from that point of view a full house - Hope we have a good attendance from the public, but so far the buzz looks good 

    Any FB members who want to meet up, introduce yourselves to each other and have a chat, then why not either arrange to meet at say my stand or at @ThorpyFX 's stand at say 11am  and ditto 1pm - Will save you walking around with a bunch of flowers and bright yellow jacket - Then you can have a stroll, chat, coffee etc and look for cheap R8's
    Also fretboarders, please do come and say hello at my stand, Ivison Guitars. I will be the one with the rather nervous “it’s my first guitar show, what do I do?!!” look on my face!! :)

    Great, will see you all there. You should easily be able to spot me, I’ll be the late 40s bloke, who has left his family at home (as they aren’t interested in guitars) but still thinks he’s cool dressing in band T-shirt, hoodies and jeans..... oh.....
