    Very nice <removed - see below>, love the blue - do I spy a drop top?

    How do you like the BKP Ragnarok's?

    Thanks Ross ☺ 

    I like what I heard. Unfortunately, being a lefty build and I'm right-handed, I didn't get a chance to really play them properly. Interested to try them out properly as I like the Juggernauts and these have a bit of them in them.

    February 2019 - Been updating broken (image) links on my old threads as they were looking bare and miserable.

    Just finished updating these: http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/90556/kemp-guitars-2016-build-thread/p1 and http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/107764/kemp-guitars-2017-2018-build-thread/p1

    And now I'm in the process of updating my latest thread which picks up from where this one left off - I'll post when done

    Hey, sir =) You might well have done, yes. I sold it a few months ago (after making a Wenge/Bocote replacement to order for  the original owner of that guitar) and it's just been relisted by that buyer (he is right-handed).

    No one here bans people for asking genuine questions.
    A few things get a ban here- sock accounts, sustained abuse and threatening to shut the forum down through a legal process spring to mind.
    For instance, if Mr Kemp tried rejoining the forum using a new account under a pseudonym then that would lead to being banned.

    This is the thread that lead to Kemp's banning:

    Kemp Guitars got caught out breaking eBay's terms and conditions to the detriment of the buyer who was also a member here, didn't like being called on it, and threatened legal action to force us to delete the thread about it. I declined, gave them a chance to walk it back (which I never give anyone once a threat like that has been made, but I happen to like their work so I figured it was worth a shot at de-escalation), and they decided to double down with the threats.

    It's a shame, but you really can't help some people.

    Well, with that thread in mind... one would need quite some time to delve into each and every ban and the lead up to each one individually. You must be bored ;)

    You won’t be banned for asking... looks like it’s been explained above :)

    @MadOne yes it is a shame. His work is superb which makes the banning all the more sad. I suppose the underlying issue is that he undervalued the guitar in question and in the world of eBay you play the hand you’ve been dealt. Go against those rules and the internet becomes a small place. And I know all too well, as small business owner, we’re all just one step away from causing ourselves a myriad of problems.

    To be honest it sounds like a bunch of ***** running a playground forum and sticking their noses in something that doesn't concern them. I know Matt works his arse off and, honestly, who wouldn't have done the same? I said "honestly". Christ

    Well, that phrasing looks awfully familiar. You must spend a lot of time talking to him.

    EDIT: Also...most of the businesses on here have come in for criticism at one point or another, and - as evidenced by the fact that they're still here - none of them reacted with legal threats to try to silence that criticism. That should answer your question. And...if you feel that way about the forum, there are plenty of other places on the Internet to hang out. Feel free to be there instead of here ;)
