Niiiiice, my locals been there for yeeeeeears. Typical old man music shop that will be passed through the family and go on for a long time hopefully. He's a very knowledgable bloke and his son is an epic guitarist.

I have my lessons with the guy at the shop so he did it for the cost of the strings. The intonation was crazy out I wouldn't have known where to begin to be honest.

Anyone after some pickups that'll boost midrange go for these Wilkinson hot pickups! They sound so bright and the clarity is unreal! Really impressed with those for the pocket money they cost! Finito, I'm in love. Strung with super slinkys, intonation/tuning setup this afternoon by my LGS, it's such a joy to play.

Yeah the grooves on the saddles are a fairly modern thing, introduced on the squire classic vibe stuff I think . Looking foward to getting it fitted just for the look more then anything. The seafoam strat is slowly earning it's keep here, I bought it as a cheap guitar to repaint and flog but it's just too good looking to sell! My Wilkinson 50's hot pickups arrived today, gonna get those wired in and the guitar strung tonight and see what's what. Get them on here Matt, if I remember rightly you owned a stunning Gretsch? I'd love to see that Duo sonic too!

The cool corner... Such a shame the strat has a rosewood fretboard, it'd look nuts with a solid maple neck. Weirdoku, if your genuinely interested PM me dude with your ideas an I'm sure well sort something. Cheers for the compliment too.

Runs down to a second reg, water trap reg runs at 50psi, second reg runs anywhere between 15-25 depending on the media.. My last kit, currently building the tamiya Lotus 25 Coventry Climax, but that's a long way off.. Annoyingly I ruined that kit fitting the wipers. I fitted them then blew a tiny amount of oxide brown in onto the blades of the wipers which dripped and sat on the bonnet.

Its so hard to get a picture of seafoam green without it looking blue... Finished in nitro cellulose just like days gone by, genuine Buick 1955-1957 seafoam green. I love working in a paint shop sometimes..

Images of the new MX-5 have given me a month's worth of rod ons. What a stunning car!

Go second hand a link them together dude, I love my setup, provides me with 10 minutes of constant flow without coming in, and then when it does its not for very long.

My airbrush setup will blow you all away, two compressors running through a single water trap, down to a regulator. It works amazingly well. One runs at a pressure switch of 80psi, the other 85psi so it's really efficient. I'll get some pictures up later.

Pound coins is the most boss way to pay for a car. When I sold my polo a guy gave me £1000 in £20s then another 400 in coins, it took an age to count out!

Haha, yeah, the old bag of shit squire tele I had at uni. Bought, got bored, loft for 4 years then sold. I wouldn't say I'm a jam master but I'm enjoying tinkering with them for an hour in the evenings. Finding nice little riffs and rhythms is quite exciting!

Cheers man, I'm really digging the fender kicks at the minute. I really really reeeeeally want a vintage Olympic White USA tele but I'm holding out for a straight example. It's more ornimant then to jam on but I'm sure it'd see it's fair share of use. The missus has offered to buy me a Fender vaporiser amp for Christmas too which I'm stoked about. That '64 case sounds a good find! Very jealous. I'd love a bigsby but I'm no where near that level yet of being able to get the most out of it, they just look badass. The new bridge was from - http://www.axecaster.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12_37&products_id=32 From reviews they're great despite the price. They drop straight onto my mexican tele screw holes too which is nice, the only thing I'm disappointed in is they haven't grooved the saddles to accept the strings but I can only assume it'll give a brighter tone sat on rather then in, which is what I'm after. This ones for Skoze, as you've seen from prior phone pictures, my camera is dreadful. It's a smidge bluer and brighter in person... Do it.

He's like that in real life. That's the amp on 10

Decided to buy a case for my tele, there was only one option really wasn't there... Fender pro series hardcase in tweed. Love it to bits! Bought a wilkinson 3saddle ashtray bridge on the recommendation of my tutor too, to get that real bitey tele sound. Looking forward to getting that on in the coming weeks! I fancied trying to find a bigsby trem setup for it, but I love the simplicity.

Too good

Hahahahaahhaaaahhahaha, I bet they absolutely loved him.

Night started in wetherspoons, then to the dog races, then hooters and now rock city surrounded by emo jailbait. Sick.

Just silver, any other colour wheels looks tragic unless it's on the track..

Less shitty pictures of that LP body.. First picture shows off how bitchin this colour is, 2nd shows how epic my lacquer work can be

Painted a 70s LP Copy today, this was battered. Worst camera phone evarrrr.. Painted in jaguar Aintree green with extra xirallic to give it a corser sparkle. Next Up is a squire strat I bought from the bay, going for a real retro look on this one.. Surprisingly it plays bloomin' lovely!

Didn't buy, need to find one that's not utter bullshit

Been dragged out down town by a sulking missus which has left me fed up, sober and tired with an early start tomorrow. Joy of joys.

Too much talk of mx5 in here at the minute, it's getting a bit bent...
